The Libraries and Civic Engagement Survey is now online. If you have not already completed the survey, please take a few minutes to answer a short questionnaire that tells us about your work in this arena. You can also fill out the survey if you have undertaken additional civic engagement activities not previously reported.

The ALA Center for Civic Life is surveying libraries to find out more about their civic/community engagement activities. Public, school, academic, government, state and special libraries are undertaking exciting programs that engage their communities in civic life.

Please fill out the survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LibraryCivicEngagement. We would like to hear from you by the end of December. We will use the data to map the civic work going on throughout the country and highlight your important work. The map will help others find you and link you to similarly minded groups in your area. Thanks.
