Survey Results

The result of the survey shows that around 80% of people use the library about 1-3 times each
week. When these students visit the library, most of them only come to check out books. A small
portion of the students come for technology use and one person never visits the library. When
asked what could improve the frequency of library visits, there were several answers given. The
highest rated response indicated that the media center needed a better selection of books. This
was followed by more technology to use and a friendlier media specialist.
Most everyone surveyed felt comfortable visiting the library. They felt that the materials and
resources were easy to use and relevant to their needs. They also felt that the media specialist
was ready and willing to help them when asked.
Suggestions to Improve
There were a few things that could be improved based on the results of the survey. The media
center needs to get a comfortable section for reading. This was indicated by several people. In
addition, they would like a bigger, better selection that has more up-to-date books to choose
from. Another suggestion is to add in a video production station and student collaboration
station. One final suggestion was to update the interior of the media center by painting the walls
and changing the old worn carpet from the floor.
