Help Us Shape the Future of TCFL!
The Library is creating a new 3-year Strategic Plan to guide our work and better serve the community. As part of this process, we want to hear from you to make sure the plan reflects the needs and priorities of Talbot County residents.
We invite you to help shape the future of the Talbot County Free Library by completing THIS survey by February 25, 2026. All survey responses are anonymous and will be collected and summarized by our planning consultant, Due East, and shared with our staff, Board, and Strategic Planning Committee.
If you would like to be entered into a raffle for one of several $50 Visa gift cards, please provide your email address at the end of the survey. The gift card drawing will take place on February 26. If you are selected, you will receive an email from Due East. Please bring that email to the Circulation Desk to pick up your gift card.
Thank you for your time and for sharing your thoughts.
