Audio Guide

Public Library Survey (ONLINE)


A few months ago you received a set of Big Read Audio Guides, and a survey asking you how you might use them. We’re following up to see how you’ve actually used the guides, and whether they generated any interest in the books and authors. Your responses will help us understand how libraries and patrons might benefit from further distributions such as this and take part in a national initiative like the Big Read. Your answers will also help us determine whether to undertake these types of free mailings in the future. We very much appreciate your help.
