Summer Reading Program (SRP) survey!
Our SRP is over and we're quite pleased with how it turned out! What truly matters, however, is what YOU think. To that end, we're inviting you to take our short survey, whether or not you (and/or your child) participated. Tell us how we did, and what we can do differently next year.
It should only take a few minutes, and your feedback is so important to us. Thank you for your help! Here's our survey link: https://forms.gle/kVnsmevoCdLPmWqcA
