The Wisconsin Public Library Consortium (WPLC) seeks your valued feedback on the collection of materials in Wisconsin's Digital Library. Your input, drawing from your knowledge of patrons, will help guide us as we continue to grow and develop the collection of ebooks, audiobooks, and other digital materials so it is most relevant to Wisconsin library patrons.

The survey will take approximately 5 - 10 minutes to complete and will be open from November 4, 2024, through November 15, 2024. If you have any questions, contact wplc-info@wils.org.
