Webinar:
5 Ways to Grow School Reading Culture with Beanstack

Encourage sustainable reading habits!

Join our upcoming webinar with Beanstack on April 7 at 3:00 PM ET to discover how schools and districts across the country are growing their reading culture using a platform that's built to encourage sustained reading habits.

Survey Being Conducted to Help Refresh the POWER Library Website!

The POWER Library website was created in 2013. While it has done well to stand the test of time, the addition of services, updated navigation trends, etc., are prompting us to obtain feedback from users of all types as the first step in refreshing the POWER Library website.

To that end, we are conducting a survey that will include prominently placed invitations throughout the POWER Library. The survey will be available until May 31.

We want feedback from everyone who works or volunteers in a library too! Please select the survey link below to provide us with your opinion!

Take the Survey for Library Staff!

Help Us Get Feedback! Add the Feedback Image and Link to Your Website.

We need your help to get feedback from non-users!

A POWER Library website refresh is in the works, and HSLC seeks feedback from both users and non-users. However, getting the attention of non-users is not easy! Are you able to assist us, by promoting our feedback survey link on your website for a few weeks?

We would greatly appreciate your assistance by copying and pasting the code below to associate it with the graphic image provided in a prominent location on your website, or you can download the image and link it to our survey webpage, using the webpage we have provided.

Either way, we thank you in advance for helping us to make the POWER Library website even better!

The survey will be available until May 31.
