We are working with State Library Victoria on an exciting research initiative to understand how public libraries contribute to the health and wellbeing of their communities. You're invited to participate in a survey that will ask how you feel about, and how much you value, the various programs and services offered by public libraries.
Your thoughts and feedback will help to improve the quality of library services across Victoria.
Your Library (Eastern Regional Libraries) acknowledges the Aboriginal Traditional Owners of Country throughout our region, and pays respect to their cultures and Elders past, present and emerging.
