<a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/srpeval2019">www.surveymonkey.com/r/srpeval2019</a>.<br>
<br>
Your survey response helps the State Library, Regional Library Systems, other partners, and the Collaborative Summer Library Program to provide helpful resources and support for future SLPs. It also gives us the information we need to communicate the value
and impact of summer programs at Ohio libraries to stakeholders and influencers statewide. And, it’s an opportunity for you to reflect and share your experiences, brag a little, send us some photos (all of which are optional if your time is tight or you’re
not interested – we’re happy just to get your participation numbers!). <br>
<br>
Please complete the survey after your SRP/SLP is over and no later than September 6. Thank you!
