Dig Deep! Phase 2 Public Engagement Events
We are thrilled at the interest shown and input from Calgarians in the first phase of public engagement, “Think Big!”.
More than 12,000 Calgarians participated in a survey either through calgarynewcentrallibrary.ca or in person at more than 100 events throughout the summer.
What Calgarians have told us so far has influenced the next phase of engagement, “Dig Deep!”. Using priority rankings from the survey, detailed comments provided by respondents and research on library trends, four themes emerged to help further the discussion this fall:
- Awesome Spaces and Virtual Places
- Diverse Collections and Inspiring Resources
- Powerhouse Programs and Signature Services
- The Role of the Library in Complete Communities
Please help us uncover the potential in each of these areas by attending one of five family-friendly, free events:
