We achieve this through partnerships, networking with other libraries, and providing staff continuing education. We stay connected to the community and evolve our materials and services as needs change. MCDL’s Board serves as the community’s voice. I’m thankful for the trustees’ gift of time, talent, and service. In her final year on the board, President Maria Griffiths led our trustees with an emphasis on community engagement and commitment to inclusion, which is evident in the priorities of the strategic plan. Listening to the community’s voice continued with a survey of residents. Areas that received high levels of satisfaction included variety of materials in the collection, research assistance, check out speed, quiet environment, personalized instruction, and staff response to individual needs. Areas for potential improvement included library cleanliness, condition of equipment, and quick reference services. In overall satisfaction, 88% of respondents would recommend MCDL to a friend or family member and 86% stated their needs are met through library services. This data-driven survey was conducted at the start of the strategic plan and will be repeated at the conclusion to measure growth. We’re grateful to everyone who participated in the survey. We value your feedback and will use it for continued improvement. Thank you to our community partners, trustees, Friends of the Library, volunteers, staff, and everyone who supports and uses the library. We look forward to a productive 2024.
