Polk County Public Library is embarking on a long-term planning process that will develop priorities and goals for years to come. The crucial first step in this process is to gather feedback and opinions from as many Polk County residents as possible – even those who do not regularly use library services.

The library is currently conducting a community survey, available at the Columbus and Saluda libraries or online at www.polklibrary.org. By participating in this brief survey, you will help shape the future of the library and ensure that the library provides the maximum possible benefit to Polk County and its citizens in the years ahead. Four survey respondents will be selected at random to win a $25 Walmart gift card. The survey will be available until Oct. 20.

Polk County Public Library has a Main Library in Columbus and a branch in Saluda, as well as outreach services. PCPL offers books, movies, music, audiobooks, and downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, as well as public computers and wireless internet access. To learn more, visit www.polklibrary.org.
