HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE LIBRARY

There are more opportunities to take part in the Library's strategic planning process by sharing your thoughts and opinions about the Library.  More focus groups are being held on September 9 and 10, 2015. If you haven't been able to attend a focus group meeting and are still interested in participating, please contact the Assistant Director, Tera Moon, at (248) 642-5800 x112 or moontera@btpl.org.

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

Another way to add your voice to the conversation about the future of the Library is to fill out an online survey.  Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts.  The survey will be open until September 18, 2015.
