Dear Community member:

 

You’re invited to help shape the future of the Pickering Public Library!

Come and share your experiences of using the library amongst other Pickering citizens as we dream of the future of the library together. Between now and the middle of June, we’re hosting small group discussions with up to 25 people. We want to include many diverse voices and opinions in these discussions—even if you don’t currently use the library often or at all.

  

On June 14 and 15th, we’ll be hosting three events focused on the needs of particular groups within our community as a way for us to:

• Listen

• Understand your experience of services

• Understand your needs of services

• Learn of your ideas on how to improve services

 

You have been invited to participate in Stakeholder Lab #3

 

Lab 3: Boomers / Seniors / Healthy Aging/Age-Friendly Services

Date: June 15th

Time: 10:00 – 11:30

Location: City of Pickering Tower Room

 

What we learn from your experiences, needs and ideas will inform the future of the Pickering Public Library. Hope to see you there!
