The 2025 community survey is a month-long opportunity to participate in shaping the future of The Westport Library. As part of our strategic planning process, the Library is committed to engaging the entire community in gathering feedback and ideas that will inform our plan.
The survey is open to all, and will take less than 10 minutes to complete — the time to brew a pot of coffee. We hope that you participate and help spread the word!
The survey takes less than 10 minutes.
Yes. The survey can be completed entirely anonymously. You have the option to add your email both to enter the sweepstakes for prizes or to be contacted for follow-up focus groups, but this information will not be associated with your responses.
The survey is looking for information about how to focus the Library’s efforts on what is most needed, most wanted, and most likely to engage our community in a way that is welcoming, innovative, and responsive.
To find this information, the survey asks questions about how you are using the Library (or not), what features are a priority for you, and what topics interest you most. Because of our commitment to lifelong learning, the survey also asks your opinions about our role in the community relative to schools. Finally, it asks questions about you and your relationship to the Library.
All of the data will be examined collectively and not on the basis of individual responses. Our chief impact officer, Tory Donohue, will analyze the data and share the results with a strategic planning committee made up of staff and trustees. The strategic plan that emerges from this will be shared with the community.
All of our work is done with respect to our Privacy Policy and our Data Collection and Usage statement.
When you take the survey, enter your email when asked if you want to be eligible for a prize. This will be how you are contacted if your name is randomly chosen for a prize.
