As city departments and taxpayer-funded groups sharpen their pencils for this fall's budget sessions, the Coquitlam Public Library is asking for public input on how it can do better.
And it's offering prizes to anyone who takes part in the online survey before the Aug. 31 deadline.
Library managers are developing a new strategic plan for how the library should move forward over the next several years. In its seven-minute poll, it is asking library users about what branch they frequent, what they are looking for and what they would like to see more of, such as eBooks, multicultural materials and kids' programs.
It's also asking users if they are aware of existing outreach, such as computer help and genealogy research, and it wants to know if users have been to neighbouring libraries and whether safety is a concern during library visits.
Among the prizes to be won after completing the online survey are book bags, mugs, pens, $50 Chapters gift cards and chocolates.
