Public Libraries New Zealand Community Impact Survey
2 November - 18 December 2026
How do public libraries impact your life? Take 5 minutes to complete this short survey and help shape the future of libraries across Aotearoa.
Libraries are no longer just quiet spaces for reading and borrowing books, but offer a wide range of resources and services for their communities, from digital support and technology to cultural programmes and lifelong learning opportunities. Public libraries must continue to adapt to remain responsive to the evolving needs of the communities they serve.
Public Libraries New Zealand is seeking feedback on the impact of library services on community wellbeing. This survey includes both general reflections as well as more targeted questions on your local library (ie. Selwyn Libraries) service. Even if you're not a regular library customer, or even a member of a public library, your feedback is valuable.
