23 Jul We Want to Hear From Non-Library Users: Non-Member Survey Now Open
WBPL is developing its next Strategic Plan for 2027–2030 and wants to hear from Wasaga Beach residents who don’t currently use the library. Your feedback will help us better understand community needs, reduce barriers to library use, and shape the library’s future priorities and services.
WBPL is developing its next Strategic Plan for 2027–2030, and we’re looking for feedback from Wasaga Beach residents who don’t currently use the library.
We want to better understand what barriers may prevent you from using the library, what services or programs would be valuable to you, and how the library can better meet the needs of our community. Your feedback will help guide WBPL as it grows and evolves over the next four years.
What is a Strategic Plan?
A Strategic Plan sets goals and creates a roadmap to help the library best serve the community. WBPL’s new Strategic Plan will help define the library’s vision, mission, values, and strategic priorities while establishing goals to guide our work through 2030.
Why are we asking non-members?
Hearing from people who don’t currently use the library is just as important as hearing from those who do. Understanding why some residents choose not to use library services helps us identify opportunities to improve accessibility, remove barriers, develop new services, and ensure the library continues to meet the changing needs of the entire Wasaga Beach community.
How are we doing this?
This survey is one part of our community engagement process. The Strategic Plan will also be informed by research, community and stakeholder engagement activities, focus groups, pop-up events, and conversations with residents throughout the planning process.
We want to hear from you
Whether you’ve never visited the library or simply haven’t found a reason to use it, your perspective matters. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and help shape the future of Wasaga Beach Public Library.
Survey Deadline
Please complete the survey by August 31, 2026.
