New York State Library Survey- Message from School Library System
The New York State Library invites you to take and share this Stakeholder Survey.
You can find the survey at this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NYSOCEtoolkit
This survey is designed for people who work in, volunteer for, and use museums, libraries, archives, historical and genealogical societies, and other cultural heritage/history sites. We’ll use your feedback to help these organizations create policies and practices in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion and to make the organizational and other changes necessary to serve all New Yorkers.
You can also help us by sharing this survey with your colleagues, friends, family, and the people who use your organization. Our team created an 8 ½ x 11 grayscale flier that can be printed and placed on a community bulletin board or in a public space at your organization. We also created a social media graphic that can be shared with your colleagues, family, friends and the people who use your organization. You can find both of these in this folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mIRqmcdNL-Fuc1fBnBMPDEo_EEdxd5a0?usp=share_link
If you have any questions about this survey or need technical assistance, please contact our lead consultant, Aria Camaione-Lind at (585) 319-6007 for voice or text, or via email at Aria@AriaStrategiesLLC.com.
Again, thank you for taking and sharing this survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NYSOCEtoolkit) - your support and feedback are so very appreciated!
