Northville Library seeks public input for future
Members of the Northville District Library Board of Trustees want to know exactly what city and township residents would like to see in the future of the facility.
Residents are being asked to complete a brief, 10-question survey available through April 15. The survey is designed to take approximately five minutes to complete, officials said and city and township residents of all ages are being asked to participate and help the library officials better understand community priorities regarding space, services, access and other features, according to a prepared statement.
The survey follows two community forums on space planning hosted by the library in October and November of last year. During the meetings, library trustees, Library Director Laura Mancini, and attendees discussed key challenges with the current building, along with the common complaints from the public. Among the most frequently cited concerns were inadequate parking, insufficient space for programming and collections, and overall constraints of the existing facility. The Community Forum presentation and additional supporting documents are available on the library website: https://nvillelib.org/
“This survey is an important next step in our listening process,” said Mancini. “No decisions have been made. We are counting on hearing from residents across No
rthville to help guide thoughtful, community-informed planning.” As a thank you, participants will have the option to enter a drawing for a chance to win one of ten $50 Barnes & Noble gift cards after completing the survey.
The input gathered will help trustees evaluate community preferences and priorities as part of ongoing planning discussions to address current limitations and ensure the library continues to meet the evolving needs of Northville residents, Mancini said.
The survey is available at: https://nvillelib.org/
