Be Part of the Conversation: Tell us What Your Library Means to You

Jun 5, 2025

Help us make libraries even better for all Canadians!

As part of a study led by the Canadian Urban Libraries Council (CULC), urban public libraries across Canada are coming together to offer a chance for library customers to share what their library means to them. We are delighted to take part in this study to better understand the impact of urban libraries on their communities.

We invite you to take a few moments to fill out the survey linked below, and have your voice heard. Depending on your experiences, this survey will take between 5-15 minutes to complete. Please complete the survey by Wednesday, July 2.

The results of the CULC study will support national and regional conversations about the importance of public libraries to local communities and Canada as a whole.

The national initiative is led by CULC, and the study is being carried out by the research consortium IS IT A BIRD / It Depends.

The 23 partner libraries include:

  • Bibliothèques Montréal
  • Burlington Public Library
  • Calgary Public Library
  • Edmonton Public Library
  • Halifax Public Libraries
