Community Survey

As part of a strategic planning process, the library is conducting a community survey about library services at 2014survey.ippl.info through Monday, Nov. 24. We invite residents of the library district to participate in the survey, which takes under 15 minutes to complete.

Those who complete the survey may enter a drawing for one of three $100 Amazon gift cards!

The information gathered from this survey will help us plan for the future. We appreciate input from our community, and we hope you will take the time to fill out the survey.

All responses are confidential. If you prefer a paper copy or have questions, contact the library's administrative office at 630/887-8760 ext. 245 or admin@ippl.info.

Again, we appreciate your time and thank you for helping us enhance our services to the community!
