PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield's public library, is conducting a community survey to assist and inform its future initiatives pertaining to community services.

 

Library Trustee John Neiner said the survey initiates an important community conversation.

 

"We are excited about the future of the Berkshire Athenaeum. It is our desire to tell our story in new, dynamic, and engaging ways and this survey is an opportunity for each voice in our community to be heard in helping to shape how the library grows and adapts," Neiner said. "We hope to collect public responses that will help us reach these goals of creating a space where everyone feels welcomed, informed, and connected with their world."

 

The survey can be taken online at www.surveymonkey.com/r/BA_PatronSurvey2022 or by visiting the library's website at www.pittsfieldlibrary.org. A print version is also available at the Circulation and Children's desks at the library, as well as City Hall.

 

Survey participants will be entered in a raffle for a $100 Downtown Pittsfield, Inc. gift card which can be used at various downtown businesses.

 

The athenaeum is located at 1 Wendell Ave. For more information, please call 413-499-9480, Ext. 4 or email info@pittsfieldlibrary.org.
