Community Conversations About the Appleton Public Library

I'm looking forward to reading a summary of the outcome of these sessions.

Public comments sought on library.  (Appleton Post-Crescent, 4/18/2012)


From the Appleton Public Library homepage.

The Appleton Public Library and the Friends of Appleton Public Library would love to hear from you. As a community member, you are the expert on all things community related and your perspective is important. 

The Friends of Appleton Public Library organization is hosting a series of listening sessions about the future of Appleton and public libraries. These 90 minute meetings, coined Community Conversations, will take place throughout the City of Appleton from April 19-26, time and location can be found by clicking on the image to the left. All Appleton and surrounding area community members and their elected representatives are invited to join in on these conversations. 

The agenda for the Conversations includes a facilitated group discussion of community-focused questions and a presentation about public libraries and libraries of the 21st century. Through these collected reflections by many community members, we hope to learn more about what our community wants from the library of the future.

Shared priorities, common agenda (highlight added)


And as long as you're here, take a look at the Friends of the Appleton Public Library "What We Do" page.  Very impressive!
