The San Benito County Free Library is conducting a Library Needs Assessment and would like to have the community’s input.
If you have not yet filled out the short survey at the link below, there is still time.
The goal of the needs assessment is to develop a comprehensive analysis of the unmet facility and operational needs in the existing library. It is also identify the needs (capital and operational) for a Technology, Education, and Library (TEL) Center,  which would serve as a hub for the entire community to:
- expand the depth and breadth of library collections including digital resources raising literacy and school standardized test scores;
- provide access to digital literacy and technology for San Benito County residents ages 0-5, school age, teen, and adult;
- provide a physical library design and location that accommodates 21st Century needs in the areas of technology, education, information, and recreation serving not only library programs, but also literacy needs, and other community needs (i.e. conference rooms, and commercial space);
- provide the ability to include non-profit, private, and or commercial sector economic stimulus;
- and to provide the ability to incorporate public-private partnerships in order to lower costs, increase services, and remain relevant to users of all ages and demographics.Â
