Customer Satisfaction Survey Every three years, SCCLD conducts a customer satisfaction survey to hear directly from our patrons and collect valuable actionable information. From the 2016 survey, our patrons told us the days and times most desired to expand library hours at each of our libraries. As a result, our libraries have expanded open hours and all 8 of our libraries now offer library service 7 days per week. The 2019 Patron Satisfaction Survey is available from May 20-June 15. Patrons will be able to fill out the survey online as well as in the libraries. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete and will provide us with valuable insight into library use, how our patrons feel about the services provided, the experience they have when visiting our libraries/Bookmobile/online library, what is important when it comes to the wide range of library services and materials we offer (online and offline), when would they like to attend various types of programs, etc. We are actively seeking higher participation this year through promotion to all library cardholders. In addition to the promotional materials available in the library, we emailed all library cardholders, issued a news release, shared with local and county organizations and more. This year’s customer satisfaction survey is available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese . 10.A Packet Pg. 11 Communication: Report from Nancy Howe, County Librarian (LIBRARY REPORTS) Serving the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County and the cities of Campbell | Cupertino | Gilroy | Los Altos | Los Altos Hills | Milpitas | Monte Sereno | Morgan Hill | Saratoga Cupertino Library to Host TEDx Teen Talk For the last 35 years, TED Talks have been a popular forum dedicated to spreading ideas, with guest speakers discussing a variety of topics.
