<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">The University of Washington Information School is engaged in an IMLS grant project to perform a needs analysis that will provide a deeper understanding of what public libraries
need to be more effective community anchors for families with children ages 0-12, in underserved communities, who do not utilize the library (find out more here:

https://www.imls.gov/sites/default/files/grants/lg-97-17-0040-17/proposals/lg-97-17-0040-17-preliminary-proposal.pdf</a>). As part of their research, they’re seeking feedback on a survey from youth services staff across the country. If you’re willing, please
send out the info below to youth services staff in your state; thanks for your help!</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Do you, as library staff, offer programs and services out in community locations to reach and serve children and families in underserved communities? If so, researchers at
the University of Washington Information School invite you to participate in a virtual survey about programs and services you are offering outside of library walls for children and families in underserved communities. Click the link below to learn more about
the study or to give your consent to complete the survey.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
