Port Townsend Public Library Customer Satisfaction Survey 2021 Opened Ended Comments If you never use the library in person or online tell us why. I get books from Little Free Libraries I do Can't remember my library card number, and don't have the card anymore, and I live in Wisconsin and you had magic happen. I once lost a flashdrive at ANOTHER library hundreds of miles (?) away and I asked you if you had it, because the spirits shyly told me to, and you did have it. Nice. I believe in "2012" and "The Asylum" disaster movies, a bit corny but SO very human like in our expectation of magical endings. I wrote to the mayor about having a place with all sorts of plants for the event of if the world got separated by huge expanses of tidal surge waves not settling down and I wanted the city to have a place they could at least harvest the seed crops and replant and go for every plant possible. Yes, I'm in favor of a green-sun-room having three lemon trees, three coffee bushes, and bananas and avocados. I'm working on LionsUnite.vip. Have nice day. Nutting can go wrong.

Make accessibility of reading not in its collection easier to get, or possible to get, in some cases. Put up a place for book "reviews" from patrons We think it is great the way it is Start reopening for more hours again. Some of the other midweek days would have reduced hours, so that Sunday and Monday could be added back. Offer more community focused or social services for low income people. Offer another free space for meetings of community non-profits. More available hours Hours on sun and or mon Opening sun-mon (understand budget constraints) Libraries can always use more funding, but that is not the fault of the library.

More hours Don't know-response to covid was excellent. I miss the old card catalog system but I do understand how very difficult and time consuming it would be to maintain it in this day and age of computer technology. I have zero skill in using a computer so I Purchase current works. Hold more events and classes for people of all ages and interests. Ask us what we want to experience cultural events educational powerful i acc't really answer that since i am quite satisfied. Update to Bibliocom; invest in more ebooks showcasing more of the amazing folks in our area so we can learn from them while being entertained More tech support More sci-fi books on Libby less political Add more titles More room for a larger collection. More space for meetings/conversation (i.e. not quiet reading space). More collaboration with other arts & culture orgs in town.

See #4. not sure more current travel books; more field guides to local animals I'd love to have a miraculous free borrowing agreement with Seattle Public Lib.

Enlarged space that is used for additional materials and ability for patrons to read or work comfortably while visiting I have been impressed with the number and variety of programs put on the the county library, both in person (e.g. Tech Tuesday) and virtual. PTPL seems to offer less. Must be because of staffing levels? happy with it Book reviews are everywhere. Information on other services is not I don't know. It's pretty great right now. Seems fine to me. Open at 9am. Little kids are up, older people are up. We like the morning hours. How do you improve on greatness? Sundays & cheerful people More available days open. Anything Else to Add? I sense that books get "thinned out" more than I wish was necessary. I appreciate that shelf space is not unlimited, but it does seem like some of the older books I like to go back to are often gone. I presume to make space for new ones, but I wish more of the older even if less used books didn't have to go. library for the visibility of staffing. Libraries helped me thru unemployment, researching elder abuse but there was someone at a desk who looked up, smiled, and helped. A couple of No. Nope Oops, I meant around the issue of COVID Overall good local library-I feel fortunate to have it. Many times I have requested a book or DVD that is not in our system and it has been ordered for the library. I really want it known how much I appreciate this. (o: I Love the library. I LOVE my library. I even live close enough to be able to WALK to it. I always put my voting ballot in their drop box. Keep up the good work because if you have a garden and a library what else do you need I think they are doing great with their limited space and resources. I am sooooo happy that the library is now sending out a newsletter. Done Only thank you The PT Library... Rocks Well done, keep at it, and thank you all. I appreciate the helpful staff, sharing of books with JCPL, and collection size, given the relatively small size of our community. Keep up the great work. Without reliable periodicals, our libraries are the last bastion of democracy. Love my library! During these traumatic changing times, libraries become more important than normal.

Na I particularly appreciate the world cat and am so impressed with the way libraries (around the world) have added such depth to my life keep up the good work Thanks! Your services are a gem in a sea of commercialism. Stay open to everyone- never segregate. Your response to the pandemic was outstanding. One might even say heroic. You rock. Thank you for all you do. Our kids love to go to library! I have gotten the MiFi twice. It needs to have better instructions with it. And it would be very helpful if all of the staff had training with it, not just the IT person, when there is an issue with one. Thank you! Thanks for adapting to the pandemic, keeping service going, and being there for all parts of our community. enlarge and update the CD Collection Is there money to hire staff with library credentials (i.e., an MA)? The current staff is wonderful, but they offer "customer service," not library-oriented support. Thank you for being there! no Thank you to the library. Carrel space is limited as far as setting up a place to work on a project. Seating in a circle is awkward in the reading area. Would prefer a more private arrangement. Thank you for everything! recently you have opened all day on Saturday.q Love the Port Townsend Library. Thank you for keeping the community read going, I love that program and feel it is one of the most valuable things in our community, right up there with wooden boat fest! :) Thank you for being swell! The library is Good when compared to all libraries but Excellent for a small community library. Please enforce masking! ALWAYS friendly and helpful staff Thanks you guys are the best This is a library that needs to be open 6 or 7 days a week (like it was in the past). Many students rely upon access for homeschooling activities and materials, and even part time house on Sunday, Monday (or other days) would be helpful. Great staff who are very nice Would like even short hours on Sunday staff is great. wish it could be bigger but... pipe dreams. ;) I love everything about our library. We are so fortunate to have the staff and resources we do. disappointed in the collections policy since the new regime. Good books ha e been weeded out, and the focus seems to be on pop lit. Our library is a large and wonderful part of what make this town so special. I treasure it. Thank you all for doing what you do! CLEO - great ! love the interconnection Is the library Port Townsends community center. A place where all can access education enrichment and connection? If not, why? love my library!!! I wish you had a quiet space for those of us who have ADD or are noise sensitive. Maybe noise- Thank you for your hard work! You are greatly appreciated! I would love more up to date travel books. I love the library and want to rate it the highest, but I haven't been in since...you know, pandemic so I'm only trying to remember what I thought before. You've done well coping with the pandemic. Wonderful staff. Smart, warm, knowledgeable and super helpful. Why not open 7 days like the county library? space is beautiful, especially upstairs and the selection of books is great. Just seems like for most working folks Sunday is an ideal day to go curl up at the library, or for kids to study at the library for school work? Sunday openings please.

Port Townsend Public Library March 2022 Monthly Program Report Messages from patrons about the Community Read and programs: I just finished reading The House in the Cerulean Sea, and I found it heartwarming and beautiful and so, so perfect as a choice for a community read. It's been a really difficult couple of years for me and for just about everyone, I think, and that book felt like a balm to my soul. What a gift to the community to provide such a touching, hopeful story for folks to bond over. Thank you again for your kindness. I want to shout out a well done to you and your staff on your choice this year. Just finished the adult book choice last night and it was just a good read!! And I rarely choose novels to read for myself and this one was grand. Did you know that there is a grand old Red Oak in Uptown? It is probably 75-100 years old and is at the corner of Franklin and Calhoun. There is a Copper beech planted right beside it. It is the tree with the rough bark, not to be confused with the smooth of the beech. I loved both books. especially if I had known the subject matter (children with magical powers); however, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was so life affirming. Thank you for choosing the book; it has been a pleasure to read.

MA Are You Ready To Take On An Act Of Peacemaking? In a world framed by digital screens and talking heads, fifteen women quietly invited Barbe Chambliss into their lives to share intimate conversations about how they make peace. Sparked by a curiosity about how peace is actually created, this mediator and psychotherapist from Port Townsend Public Library April 2022 Monthly Program Report Colorado zigzagged the globe to interview a willing pool of peacemakers where they live. Chambliss shares the remarkable stories of this wildly diverse cadre of women change agents, from an Israeli soldier to an Irish nun, a Clan Mother to an ex-princess, a paralyzed Olympic skier to a young Zimbabwean orphan who now directs the esteemed Future of Hope Foundation. We see individual tactics meld into a pool of common strategies for crafting genuine peace. Chambliss calls them "Lessons Learned from the Peacemakers," offering them as practices that anyone can integrate into daily life to foster individual and communal peace. She invites each reader to commit to doing one or more acts of peacemaking and then share their results with her, ultimately expanding these fifteen stories into multiples stories of peacemaking by neighbors, by refugees, by prisoners, by environmentalists and all manner of diverse sources. This book is both a deeply entertaining read and a guidebook, crafted by inspiration and calling to everyone on earth who is willing to be counted among the ranks of Conscious Peacemakers. Comments: The program was well recevied with many attendees wanting to share the work Port Townsend has done for peacemaking. The library offered a peace crane making station and so far, has over 300 cranes on display.
