Williamsville Public Library & Museum Survey 2025

The Williamsville Public Library and Museum (WPLM) was recently awarded a $20,000 "Libraries Transforming Communities" grant from the American Library Association.

The grant is intended to make WPLM more welcoming and accessible to all our visitors.

We'd love your input on how we can best serve everyone in our community, with a particular focus on including those with disabilities.

This survey will take under 5 minutes. Your responses can remain anonymous, or you can let us know at the end of the survey if you would like to provide more input.
