Oxford County Library is looking for feedback from its rural communities to help shape the future of local libraries.

The Rural Community Engagement Survey is open now until May 1, 2024, for public input on library branch hours, the physical set-up of library spaces, collections, technology offerings, programs and activities, and more.

The survey, which can be accessed through Speak Up, Oxford!, takes only 5-10 minutes to complete. For taking part, rural residents will have an opportunity to win one of five (5) $40 gift cards to a local shop or restaurant of their choice.

For those who would rather send feedback directly, there is also an online question and comment form on the survey website.

The survey is not intended for residents who use Oxford County Library’s Ingersoll or Tillsonburg branches, or Woodstock Public Library.

Oxford County Library’s rural branches are located in Brownsville, Burgessville, Embro, Harrington, Innerkip, Mount Elgin, Norwich, Otterville, Plattsville, Princeton, Tavistock and Thamesford. The Library also serves rural communities through Ox on the Run, a mobile book unit.
