You responded, and we're listening!

Through the summer and fall of 2025, we circulated an anonymous programming survey online and in person. We wanted to hear from you about what we're doing well and where we can improve!

We've compiled the findings and our next steps. Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. Because of your participation, we can serve you better in 2026.

Key results include:
- Changing demographics, with an increase in responses from young families
- Weekend programming is in high demand. We will continue to host programming on weekends wherever possible!
- Accessibility needs: we gained greater insights and are considering this for future programs.
- Top-rated topics include: Climate change, policy action against poverty, and internet safety. There are many programs we plan to bring back or expand in these areas, stay tuned!
