Davis Pier is hosting a community conversation at the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s Council Chambers.

What is the community consultation for?
Davis Pier Consulting is reviewing Eastern Counties Regional Library (ECRL). They want to hear directly from library users and community members.

Davis Pier will be there to listen and learn:
When & why do you go to your library?
When & why do you take your children to your library?
What might help you choose to go to your library more often?
What services do you need from your library? Are these services available when you go to your library?
When is the best time for you to go to your library?

Why are they asking?
Davis Pier is focused on understanding your needs for your local library. We value your input and look forward to hearing from you. Your feedback will contribute to our recommendations for library services available to you.
