AI is evolving quickly, and many public library staff are wondering the same thing: Is our library ahead, behind, or right where we should be?

We're inviting public library employees to share their perspective so the community can better understand how libraries are approaching AI today.

This survey asks where your library stands with AI, how you feel about it, and what matters most as your library explores where AI does or doesn’t fit.

If you work at a public library, we want to hear from you, regardless of your role or familiarity with AI. Whether you’re enthusiastic, cautious, or skeptical, your experience is what makes this survey useful.

Survey details:
- Takes 5–10 minutes to complete
- All responses are confidential and reported only in aggregate
- Naming your library is optional
