[Michlib-l] Survey Invitation: Public Library Accessibility & Inclusion

[Katie Rothley]

Hello!

My name is Katie Rothley and I'm the marketing and PR librarian at
Northville District Library. I'm hoping to gather responses from as many
people as possible on their lived experiences using libraries and how they
feel when using them, especially from people who have disabilities. This
survey
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeVNk1xSIq8133Q3BQCLLrtQC3x-Q7YvSVevBw6DPy5NhIFsg/viewform?usp=header>
is a Google Form and does not require you to have a Google email, has 15
total questions, with optional spaces to offer anecdotal info, may take
anywhere from 8 - 15 minutes to complete, and will close on September 30,
2025.

I am gathering this information to research and analyze real experiences
from people with regard to library accessibility, inclusion, and
opportunities for improvement in library spaces, services, communications,
etc. for an upcoming presentation I will be giving this Fall. Please
consider completing this survey to help me.

If you are also interested in a printed version to share with colleagues,
peers, library patrons, family, or friends, please let me know and I will
provide that to you. I would be grateful to receive as many responses as
possible.

I am also happy to receive any additional information, resources,
recommendations on the topic of accessibility, innovations, research, and
movements to create libraries that thoughtfully consider the experiences of
using the library, or why people choose not to, based on how the library
makes it easy or difficult to use with regard to the physical and digital
spaces, technology, signage, collections and ease of access, services, and
anything else that is related.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration, and I hope that people
will share their experiences. Survey link.
