This is a multi-part process, and it is time to hear directly from you! We are asking you ~ a library user, non-user, former-user, or future-user ~ to spend about an hour and a half of your time with us, to tell us a bit about yourself, your needs, your aspirations, and how your public library can help. There is no homework, no age limit, and no requirements for participation. Though you will be asked for some brief demographic data, your thoughts and opinions will be shared only with the group and will be anonymous in the final Plan of Service. In order to participate, you just have to show up ready to share, and plan to stay the entire time for the focus group process. Beverages and refreshments will be provided. We are asking all those with an interest in their community, and in their public library, to spend some time helping us with this process. The more meaningful the input, the more meaningful the outcome ~ please join me! http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=65677;token=guest.97847139090a7a765131f265bb7ebd29 Henderson Library Date: Wed, Apr 4, 2012 Time: 7:00 PM Description: Children and caregivers are encouraged to wear their pajamas and bring special pillows and blankets to this evening family storytime.
