HELP US SET OUR COURSE
Help Us Set a Course for Exceptional Library Service
Each year we ask for your feedback, and we look for opportunities to better serve the
community. While our services look different right now, we continue to strive to meet
the informational, cultural, educational and recreational needs of Tigard's residents, now
and in the future.
Soon, we'll need your help. On January 15, you'll receive an email invitation to participate
in our strategic planning process. Please fill out this brief survey and share what's working,
what's not, and what you imagine library services can be in the years to come. You can
also choose to be entered to win prizes. Thank you for your help!
