ALA and SLI are seeking feedback from the field. This survey is intended for library leaders. The Working Group identifies library leaders as ALL library workers and trustees given each person's sphere of influence to make a difference on the topic of climate action. The survey should take 8-10 minutes to complete. It will remain open until Friday, April 5, 2024.
