SUBJECT: CFPB Libraries Survey
Dear «Salutation» «ContactLastName»:
In order for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a federal government agency, to provide
the highest service possible, we must stay connected to the needs of the libraries we serve. In about
one week, you will be among the hundreds of library staff who will receive an invitation to complete an
online survey about your library’s use of the CFPB’s financial education resources. The purpose of this
voluntary survey is to learn more about how libraries are using the resources provided by CFPB and to
identify opportunities to improve those resources. The survey largely consists of multiple-choice
questions and takes approximately 7 minutes to complete. This is a follow-up survey to one you may
have previously completed. Doing this survey annually will allow us to compare results from prior
surveys to identify places we’ve improved and areas that still need improving.
In appreciation for you completing this survey, your library will receive a customized report detailing
your library’s use of financial education resources and comparing it to similar libraries. The information
in this report should be helpful for planning your financial education library programs and outreach
strategy.
Your invitation to participate will arrive soon. Your survey responses will help CFPB continue to expand
and improve the libraries program.
We thank you for your time and interest in helping us to serve you better.
