The North Little Rock Public Library System (NLRPLS) is embarking on an exciting journey to create its 2026-2029 Strategic Plan, and we want your voice to guide us! Whether you’re a frequent library visitor, a casual user, or someone who hasn’t yet explored all the library has to offer, your input is essential in shaping the future of your library system.
“Our library system is so much more than books—it’s about connecting people to ideas, opportunities, and each other,” said Crystal Gates, Executive Director of NLRPLS. “We want to hear directly from our community to ensure we’re meeting your needs and expectations. Your input will help us grow and evolve to serve North Little Rock better than ever before.”
How to Participate
The survey is now open and will remain available through January 31, 2025. It only takes 5-10 minutes to complete, but the impact of your feedback will shape the library’s priorities for years to come.
You can access the survey by visiting here. It’s quick, easy, and completely anonymous.
Why Your Input Matters
At NLRPLS, we strive to be more than just a library—we aim to be a hub for knowledge, creativity, and connection. By completing the survey, you’ll help us answer important questions about the future, such as:
- What types of programs and resources are most valuable to you?
- How can we make our services more accessible and impactful?
- What new opportunities or changes would you like to see in your library?
“Libraries thrive when they reflect the needs of the communities they serve,” Crystal added. “This survey is your chance to help us make that happen. Whether you’re passionate about technology, lifelong learning, or creating inclusive spaces, we want to hear from you.”
Spread the Word
We encourage everyone to help us reach as many voices as possible! You can share the survey with your family, friends, and neighbors. Find us on Facebook and Instagram @nlrlibraries, and share our posts to let others know about this opportunity to make a difference.
Library staff are also distributing flyers with a QR code linking directly to the survey. You can pick one up at any library location and share it with others in your community.
Looking Ahead
After the survey closes, we’ll analyze the results and incorporate community feedback into our 2026-2029 Strategic Plan. “We want this to be a truly collaborative process,” said Crystal. “The people of North Little Rock are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re excited to create a plan that reflects their voices and aspirations.”
