Seattle Public Library seeks input for improvement

Margaret Margaret January 4, 2012 2 Comments

Did you know that more than 14 million people visited the Seattle Public Library last year? I’d be willing to bet that a large majority of Library patrons are right here in Wallingford, too, and if you’re one of them, you might want to help the Library by providing some feedback about its services. The Seattle Public Library Board has laid out four specific goals for improving Library services, along with several options for each goal. You can share your comments about these goals and their options online by clicking here. Or, you can also attend one of three meetings that are being held this month:
  • Saturday, January 7, from 10:00AM – 12:00PM at the Central Library, 1000 Fourth Avenue, Microsoft Auditorium, Level 1 206-386-4636
  • Saturday, January 14, from 12:00PM – 2:00PM at the Beacon Hill Branch, 2821 Beacon Ave. S. 206-684-4711
  • Wednesday, January 18, from 6:00PM – 8:00PM at the Ballard Branch, 5614 22nd Ave. N.W. 206-684-4089

    7.) keep the Ask-A-Librarian service- it is excellent
    8.) Have 1 designated staff at sites with established hours who can answer simple computer questions
    9.) increase communications skills and problem solving program instruction to staff
    10.) change some of the open hours of Fremont/Univ/Wall.. as all serve same people and all are closed on same days-Fridays
    11.) be sure librarians kNOW site specific information- bike rack locations, rest room use policies, etc
