This is an update to let you know that the main Lifelong Learning page on the MSL website has been reorganized. Instead of publishing all Lifelong Learning programs in one long list, each program has been separated out into an individual webpage. You can access all webpages from the main Lifelong Learning page, which is still at this web address: https://msl.mt.gov/libraries/lifelonglearning/
Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you encounter any broken links!
If you weren't able to attend the July 6th webinar, Montana Legal Overview and Resources with the State Law Library, you can watch the recording on YouTube. Thank you Franklin for joining us and sharing your knowledge!

FAQs
Who should complete this survey?
The audience for the survey is public library staff who played an active role in administering or running 2023 summer library programming. One person per library could fill it out, or multiple library staff from the same library could complete the sections of the survey most relevant to their work; e.g. children, teen, or adult programs.
- Please coordinate with your colleagues on who will fill it out, especially if you are in a multi-branch system.
- This does NOT need to be filled out by Directors. (Adult/YA/Children program overseers can complete their own portions.)
- EVEN IF YOU DID NOT USE "ALL TOGETHER NOW" AS YOUR THEME, we invite you to complete the survey!
Is this survey required?
No, it is not required, but we would appreciate your input. Every library that responds helps us get a more accurate picture of overall satisfaction with the program.
I want to be prepared. What info will I need to provide?
- General feedback on using (or not) the 2023 program theme and materials
- Feedback and info about how/whether you tracked participation, as well as stats for participation and programming for children (ages 0-11), teens (12-18) and adults.
You may skip any questions for which you don't have the answers. I suggest you wait until your summer program has ended to complete the survey.
When does the survey close?
The survey is open from now until Friday, September 8, 2023.
