New Port Richey Public Library Seeking Input for Long-Term Plan

Press release submitted by Ann Scott

Your NPR Library strives to facilitate access and creation of knowledge. We form connections: bringing information to you, entertainment to you, inspiration to you, conversations to you.  And to do this, the library also relies on you, to tell us your story and what services we can provide that will improve your quality of life.  Your NPR Library is asking for your input to create a “long-range plan,” a plan that will ensure that our community has a voice in the library’s future (2013-2018).

TEENS (ages 13-18) – You are NPR Library’s 1^st Focus group.
Mon, Mar. 12, 2:30-4:30PM – This meeting is open to all teens who would like to share what they would like library services to be

ADULTS – You are NPR Library’s 2^nd Focus group.
