    Hello, and apologies for cross-posting. 

    Does your library offer a public whiteboard, post-it note board or other similar passive engagement tool (with or without staff-created prompts or questions of the day)? If so, we have a short (5 question) survey for you. We are not conducting research (at least, not yet!) about this topic, however, we are interested in how other libraries respond when comments or drawings are cause for concern from library visitors, staff, or administrators. 

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. If you have any questions at all, or prefer not to use this form, please contact me, Teresa Doherty, at mtdohert@vcu.edu
