In an effort to ensure the Beaverton City Libraries continue to be successful, the libraries are conducting a survey through May. The brief survey is located at www.BeavertonLibrary.org/Survey.
"We invite both library users and non-users to fill out the survey," said Ed House, library director. "That way we can adjust our service models to fit the needs of the whole community."
Those that complete the survey will have their name entered into a drawing for a new e-Reader, purchased with funds donated by the New Friends of the Beaverton City Library.
The Beaverton City Library, the second busiest library in the state, serves a population of approximately 142,000 (the population of Beaverton plus a portion of the unincorporated residents of Washington County). Each month, more than 84,000 people visit the library to check out nearly 300,000 items--circulating more than 3.5 million items annually. The library has two facilities, the Main Library and the Murray Scholls Branch, each open seven days per week.
