Friends of the Lewes Public Library Community Survey

The Friends of the Lewes Public Library invite you to share your thoughts on how we’re doing in our support of the Library. Although the pandemic has prevented us from keeping our shop open and holding book sales, the Friends remain committed to meeting our financial support of the Library. Please help us determine how we can do this better in the future by taking the following survey. It should take no more than 2 minutes to complete, and the responses are anonymous. Thank you!
