Social Media Survey

Burlington Public Library is again conducting a survey to help us learn how to better serve and connect with you through social media. Please take a few minutes to reply. Your input last year was very helpful and pointed us in the direction that we took. Your assistance again will give us the guidance we need for future planning.

Paper copies of our survey are at the Circulation desk on the first floor of the library. Our survey may also be completed online just visit our website (burlingtonpubliclibrary.org) and click on the link to the survey.
