Library survey needs your input!

HELP MOVE OUR LIBRARY INTO THE 21st CENTURY

The Ethel Everhard Memorial Library seeks community input to help move the library into the 21st century.  As an incentive, participants will be entered into a drawing for a $10 gift certificate from Bentleys Pharmacy, a three-volume set of Fran Sprain’s Places and Faces of Marquette County, and a child’s gift basket.  The purpose of the survey has three goals:  

  • To determine what our community currently values in our library,
  • Assess space needs for remodeling and a possible addition, and
  • Identify new or different ways to better serve our community.
