While we are quite practiced as library professionals, we’ll also be seeking advice on Wednesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. at Sherwood Regional Library.  Our branch manager’s question is “How can Sherwood best serve the needs of the Mount Vernon community?”   In this case, though, we don’t know the answers yet, and that’s why we’re asking for your help.

Sherwood’s staff wants neighborhood input as we set priorities for the coming budget year.  We’ll be looking for programming ideas, partnership suggestions and neighborhood news we can use to understand trends.  For those who might want to join us, but can’t, we have prepared a brief survey you can find at www.surveymonkey.com/s/DJDY5WV.  If you prefer, you can send an email to Branch Manager Denise Morgan at denise.morgan@fairfaxcounty.gov.

Thanks for your input.  We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday,  May 1 at 7 p.m.
