The Association for Rural & Small Libraries needs your input. We are engaged in an effort to more fully understand the important work of small and rural libraries and learn from people like you working in these libraries about your concerns and needs. Last month, we held several focus groups, both online and in person. This month we are conducting an online survey to gather more information. Please help us by completing the online survey. Completing the survey will take approximately 10 minutes for non-members and approximately 15 minutes for ARSL members. Click on this link to take the survey now: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2012_ARSL_Rural_and_Small_Library_Needs_Assessment_Survey This survey is being conducted on behalf of ARSL by Lukas Consulting and Rainbow Research, Inc. with generous support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. ARSL's mission is to "provide a network of people and materials to support rural and small library staff, volunteers and trustees to integrate the library thoroughly with the life and work of the community it serves." We look forward to sharing the survey results with you on the ARSL website (www.arsl.info) in early 2013. Your responses will be kept completely confidential. Rainbow Research, Inc. will collect and analyze the data and will present findings in summary form. While participation in the survey is voluntary, we sincerely hope that you take part and encourage you to respond with candor.
