the needs of their communities, and this survey will help build a better understanding of those efforts.
</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Results will be used <span style="color:black">
to advocate on behalf of libraries at the national level, communicate aggregated results with the public and media, create content and professional development opportunities to address library staff needs, and share some raw, anonymized data elements with state-level
staff and library support organizations for their own advocacy needs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:8.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Additional information about the survey: All library types are encouraged to respond. We are surveying at the library organizational level and are not
collecting outlet/branch data. Financial-related data will only be used in aggregate and not shared in raw data format. Any raw data that is shared with states or other library support organizations outside of ALA will be anonymized. The survey should take
about 15 minutes to complete, and all completed respondents will be automatically entered to win one of ten $30 gift certificates to the ALA Store.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
