<div>I want to clarify for everyone on libs-or that as part of Multnomah County Library's current year Library Services and Technology Grant - Evolving Homework - we've engaged the services of Consumer Opinion Services to facilitate five focus groups within our community to learn more about how school-age students and their parents, educators, and school library staff approach and engage in homework and the resources of their public library.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The grant coordinator is speaking with Consumer Opinion Services to let them know we do not want to recruit from within the library community but rather the greater patron base that we serve. My apologies for any confusion this positing created. I'm more than happy to share the results of our work with the greater Oregon library community when our recommendations are complete.</div>
