Attention all book lovers and community members!

We're excited to announce that Flathead County Library - Kalispell is embarking on a Campaign Readiness Study!

What's a Campaign Readiness Study? It's a crucial step that helps us truly understand the potential of our proposed $13M Capital Campaign for a new Kalispell library. This means we get to dive deep into our library, test external assumptions, and ensure that a proposed Capital Campaign is not just successful, but also impactful.

And here's where YOU come in! We value your feedback and insights immensely. Please take a moment to complete our public survey and let us know your thoughts. Your input will play a vital role in shaping the future of our library and the services we provide to our community.

Take the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3X7y7MHYTAThXh_XXLwJ_XGGiJbA47cOZDQ4YIFLUXGcbxg/viewform?pli=1
