The Seattle Public Library is offering residents to chance to share their thoughts and ideas about library services and priorities to help inform the library's strategic planning efforts for its future.

The library’s survey is available May 3 through May 16 at the library's Web site or at local branches.

The survey will also be available in Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese and Russian.

Survey responses will help guide the library’s future growth and services. The library launched its strategic planning effort in early March with five citywide conversations designed to encourage people to “think big” about future library services and the library’s role in the community.

The project, using the theme, "My Library: The Next Generation," is made possible by a grant from The Seattle Public Library Foundation.

The library will present a panel discussion titled “Technology and Its Impact on the Future of Libraries” at 10 a.m. on May 8 at the Central Library, located at 1000 Fourth Ave., Level 4, Room 1.
