The Halton Hills Public Library (HHPL) is seeking feedback from local citizens about its technology services.
As part of the Library Impact Ontario project - a province-wide initiative aimed at improving public library technology services to better meet the needs of the community - HHPL is inviting residents to share their thoughts in a patron survey.
The feedback will help shape future technology services at the local library branches and ensure they meet community needs.
The survey will take three to five minutes to complete and can be done online at www.hhpl.ca or in person at the library.
“Technology access and digital skills are essential today,” says Beverley King, Chief Librarian and CEO. “We’re committed to offering innovative services that empower everyone in our community, whether through free Wi-Fi, 3D printing, tech workshops or tech support. This project will help us better understand our impact and how we can improve our services.”
Currently, HHPL provides services like free Wi-Fi, internet stations, gaming laptops, video consoles, Chromebooks, portable Wi-Fi hotspots, and STEAM kits like coding robots and microscopes. The Creativity Centre features advanced tools like 3D printers, Cricut machines, and equipment for converting VHS to digital formats.
In addition, HHPL provides digital resources like eBooks, audiobooks, film streaming from Kanopy, and learning platforms such as LinkedIn Learning and Creativebug. Personalized support is available through “Book a Librarian” sessions and technology workshops to help users build skills and confidence.
