I would love to learn how more about how the libraries in your area serve older adults. While I put information about this survey on the Association for Rural and Small Libraries listserv, some rural libraries may not be members of it. Would you be willing to share information about this survey with rural librarians in your area? I would like to get information from libraries in as many states and provinces as possible. Here's the link to take the survey: https://survey.uwyo.edu/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=n4K2mnlM1. Thank you!

The attached template with four bookmarks is probably best for printing in-house at your library and the template with one bookmark is probably best for sending out to a professional printer. If you use the four bookmarks template, be sure to print only one to make sure it prints properly (top to top). If it prints top to bottom, then you'll need to adjust your printer settings and test it again before printing multiple copies.
