COMMITTEE REPORTS
The Board met with Ms. Julie Bailey and Ms. Linda Novotny of the Public Opinion Laboratory (POL) of Northern Illinois University (NIU). The Board chose POL/NIU to conduct a community survey (for 400 respondents) for the Park Ridge Public Library.

The Board reviewed the proposed survey questions and discussed the intended priorities of the Board and Library in order to determine what the goals are for the community survey.

The Board determined that Trustees will review proposed survey questions from POL/NIU, as well as the survey questions from the (year) 2000 community survey. The Board needs to determine if any questions from the 2000 Survey need to be asked again.


Adjournment: 9:00 p.m.
