Call for Participation: Library Communities Vote Emerging Leaders Survey

  • 1.  Call for Participation: Library Communities Vote Emerging Leaders Survey

    Posted Apr 11, 2023 10:14 AM

    Hello (and apologies in advance for any cross-posting)! 

    The Library Communities Vote Emerging Leaders Team is seeking survey participation to help us provide library staff with resources to better support their communities in civic engagement. Our project is sponsored by the American Library Association's Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) and Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT).

    This survey will collect input from library staff in all types of libraries regarding current practices and offerings around civic engagement, civic literacy, and civic opportunities. Our team's goal is to create an active, informative, and non-partisan campaign that includes resources for libraries of most types (public, school, and academic in particular) to support community members in registering to vote and voting.

    This survey has three parts and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. The survey closes on May 1, 2023 at 11:59pm PDT. All library staff at libraries located in the US and US territories are invited to take this survey. Your participation in this study is greatly appreciated and voluntary. 

    Here is a direct link to the Library Communities Vote Survey

    If you have any questions about the study, please contact the Library Communities Vote Emerging Leaders Team at "communities-vote@googlegroups.com".

    Thank you!
