Accessibility Survey
The accessibility survey was developed by the Assistant Director and Supervisor of Teen Services after research and seeking input from a small staff committee. The developers attempted to have the survey reviewed by the Watertown Commission on Disability (WCOD) before distribution but were unable to get a response in time. The survey was open from February 3 through March 3, 2021. It was distributed widely through the library eNewsletter, social media, paid advertisement, and direct contact to organizations such as the WCOD and Perkins School for the Blind. There were 106 responses.

Staff Survey For Strategic Planning
At the suggestion of the Strategic Planning Committee a survey was sent to library staff to seek input on priorities for the library in the next three years. The questions focused on staff interpretation of patron needs as well as how to best communicate with staff about strategic goals. The survey collected responses from February 3 to March 3, 2021 and received 11 responses. It was distributed to staff via email and through biweekly reports sent to all staff.
