The Holbrook Public Library will be conducting a brief survey in order to better improve the services it offers. As part of the long range plan survey, individuals are asked to answer questions that will help form the direction the library will go in offering services, programming, and materials to its visitors. By having a long range plan the Holbrook Public Library will be able to apply for grants from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

Please take a moment to answer the confidential survey below.
