**  Nobles County Library Community Survey  **

  • Please help the Nobles County Library by taking part in a survey to learn how the Library can serve the community – and YOU – better. Your input is very important and highly valued, whether you are a current user of the Library or not.  Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by end of day on July 2nd.  This is part of a broad-based and long-range strategic planning process, with a goal to identify community needs relating to the Library’s services. The survey was created and is overseen independently by Library Strategies Consulting Group, so your individual responses are completely confidential.
    Thank you so much for helping us plan for the future of the Nobles County Library!
