Boundary News
Written by Shara Cooper MA, MFA

GRAND FORKS — The Grand Forks & District Public Library is inviting residents to complete an anonymous survey about its collections and services by November 30.

The library wants to hear from regular visitors, occasional users and people who have never used its services. In its October 30 newsletter, it asked residents what is working well, what could improve and what they would like the library to offer.

The questionnaire is expected to take no more than 10 minutes. An online survey link is available in the library's newsletter, while paper copies can be picked up at the library at 7342 Fifth Street in Grand Forks.

The library says responses will help shape its future. The newsletter does not specify particular service changes or decisions that will result from the consultation.
