BTPL Focus Group and WSU/Karmanos Research Study Participants Needed

Bloomfield Township Public Library Focus Group

Thursday, August 4   2 PM

The Bloomfield Township Public Library is in the process of gathering information to create a new strategic plan.  One of the most important pieces of that process is your input.  As a resident and senior, you have opinions, thoughts, and ideas about what you would like to have in library services.  The Library is hosting a focus group on August 4, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. specifically for seniors. 

 

Last fall, voters approved a proposal to restore and supplement the Library's millage.  With that millage they have restored library service hours, programming for all ages, and funds for collections.  Now they want to hear your input on how to make the Library even better.  Do you want more print books, or more ebooks?  Do you want more programming?  What services do you wish the Library offered?  Is there something another library is doing that you think is outstanding?  There will be another chance to participate on September 10. To participate, contact Assistant Director, Tera Moon at moontera@btpl.org or call 248-642-5800.
