Serving Whitman County since 1877

Library extends survey deadline, seeks participants

In an effort to improve library products, programs and services, Whitman County Library is conducting a survey of all 8,700 households within the library district. The survey was recently mailed with the library district’s annual newsletter and is also available online. Anyone completing the survey has the opportunity to enter a drawing to win a new Kindle Fire sponsored by the Friends of the Library.

Because mailing of the newsletter was delayed, the survey deadline has been extended. Hard-copy surveys are now due by March 2 while the online version has been extended to March 4. Hard-copy surveys can be returned to any branch of Whitman County Library or postage affixed and mailed directly to the Colfax Branch. The online survey can be found at http://www.whitco.lib.wa.us.

Whitman County Library is collaborating with upper level marketing research students from Washington State University on the survey. The library will retain results of all information gathered, while the students will spend the semester assessing, evaluating and reporting back to the library on the Baby Boomer aged participants’ wants and needs. Whitman County Library received federal funding from the Library Services and Technology Act to study this specific age group.

For more information about the survey, contact Clancy Pool at the library.
