Library survey

The Santa Clara County Library District, which operates libraries in cities across the county including Saratoga, is asking district residents to participate in a community survey.

The online survey is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and traditional Chinese and is open through Sunday, Nov. 24, at sccld.org/communitysurvey.

“It’s important to hear directly from the patrons and residents of the communities we represent, including those individuals who are not currently using our services,” said County Librarian Jennifer Weeks in a release. “We want to make sure that as we plan for the future, we do so with the priorities of all of our community members in mind.”

This survey is anonymous and consists of two dozen questions that take less than 10 minutes for most to complete.

Participants have the option of providing contact information for a chance to win a gift card. Personal information will be used only for the drawing and will not be associated with survey answers. The Santa Clara County Library District Foundation has donated $100, $50 and $10 gift cards to increase community participation, which will be given away in a drawing in December.
