CALL Needs Assessment Focus Group 1

We are starting our annual Needs Assessment and we want to hear from you! What would you like to see in the next year from CALL? Do you have topics or areas of interest that you would like to share? What format is your favorite? How can CALL better meet your needs? If you are interested in helping us determine the answers to these questions - and more - please volunteer for a virtual focus group.

Focus Group 1 (this group will focus on Youth and Family Services/Outreach, but anyone is welcome) - April 4 at 2pm

Focus Group 2 (this group will focus on Library Directors/Rural and Small Libraries, but anyone is welcome) - April 21 at 10am

Focus Group 3 (this group will focus on Adult Services/Frontline staff, but anyone is welcome) - April 25 at noon

Anyone is welcome to volunteer for any of the available dates - regardless of your staff role or library size. Choose your date and sign up with this focus group form.

If you are unable to participate in a focus group, look for the CALL Needs Assessment survey announcement coming soon!

Note: All focus groups will be virtual and facilitated by our needs assessment consultant - Audrey Barbakoff.
