Prince William Public Libraries is conducting its annual "Did You Find What You Were Looking For?" survey from March 1 – 31. Every year, we ask patrons to complete a two-minute survey about their recent library visit. The feedback is valuable to us as it enables us to adapt our services to the needs and wants of the community. Printed surveys are available at all 12 branches or by selecting the “Library Survey” button online at pwcva.gov/library. The survey is available in English and Spanish.
