  • Washington County Libraries Seek Feedback

    Surveying Washington County residents is critical for the future of library services. Our goal with the survey is to better understand factors that determine the public libraries our residents visit. The results will be incorporated into a final report presented to the Washington County Administration Committee in May 2020.

    The survey, paper copy or online at http://bit.ly/36Ep1BM , contains five questions and will take no more than two minutes to complete. The survey will be is available now. Online responses are strongly preferred; however, hard copies are available at the County Clerk’s office and at each public library. Please return completed surveys to your local Washington County Public Library by February 22, 2020.
