Participate in the Statewide Library Impact Study

February 21st, 2008 Tana

NorthStar Economics, Inc. has been retained by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to study the economic impact of public libraries in Wisconsin. To gather information for the study, NorthStar Economics is interviewing library users and non-users throughout the state in February and March of 2008, as well as gathering additional input through an online and print survey.

Madison Public Library is assisting NorthStar Economics by helping to promote the survey locally.

Want to participate? Access the survey online or ask at any Madison Public Library for a paper copy of the survey or print a copy  and return it to the library. The survey is 41 questions long and takes 5-7 minutes to complete.

Would you be interested in joining a one-time focus group on March 11 to discuss the role the library plays in your professional life? Contact Tana Elias at telias@scls.lib.wi.us or 266-4953 for more information.

Please direct questions about the survey or the study to Alan J. Hart, Vice President & Director of Operations or David J. Ward, President at nstar@northstareconomics.com or (608) 441-8060.
