Do you have a few minutes to help APLF plan for the future?

It’s August and while it still feels like a hot summer, kids are going back to school, retailers are planning for fall, and the Albuquerque Public Library Foundation (APLF) is looking to the future to see how we can best support our libraries.

We are currently discussing things like advocacy, new programs, art, communication to the public, and other opportunities. However, at APLF, we want to represent not only our libraries, but our library supporters. In order to do this well, we need your help.

APLF has created a short 5 question survey that will not only help us and the library plan for the future, it will ensure we are representing you, our library supporters, properly. If you can find a few minutes to take the survey, we’d greatly appreciate it. The survey will close on August 16th.

The results of the survey will be in our October issue of BOOKISH, allowing you to see what all your fellow library supporters also find important about our libraries and Foundation.

Enjoy the rest of your summer, and as always, thank you for being a supporter of our libraries.
