Library User Consultation

Every two years I consult with Library users (pupils and staff) about what the Library offers and what users would like it to offer, i. e. resources such as books, magazines, software and any other services. I use the results of the consultation when I plan Library projects and how to spend my budget in the coming year.

Staff and pupils have been issued with questionnaires about the Library. If you have not received a questionnaire and would like one extra copies are available from the Library.

You can also take part in the consultation by submitting any suggestions via the 'Comments' link below.

Thanks!
