Orland Library Seeks Residents' Input For Strategic Plan

ORLAND PARK, IL — The Orland Park Public Library wants to hear from area residents. The library has created a Community Survey to collect feedback that will be used to help the library plan for future collections, services, and programs.

The library’s 2023-2024 Strategic Plan will be a living document composed of goals and action steps. Survey and focus group data helps the library to better budget and plan for future initiatives.

“All responses are confidential, and the survey takes about 10 minutes to complete,” said Katie Allan, Adult Services Manager and current Chair of the library’s Strategic Planning Committee. “Everyone is welcome to participate, even if you don’t have a library card or haven’t visited the library in a while.”

Those who complete a survey by Monday, Aug. 8 will be entered into a drawing for a Kindle Fire HD8 tablet that has been generously donated by the Friends of the Library.

The survey includes questions and prompts like “How can the library better help meet the current community needs?” and “I would be more likely to use the Orland Park Public Library if…”

Paper surveys can be filled out at any service desk at the library. The Community Survey is also available at this link: https://www.orlandparklibrary.org/survey/
