Please Complete Library Survey

The Central Rappahannock Regional Library is conducting a survey to inform their strategic planning efforts. CRRL is an important partner for the university, and we are exploring ways the UMW Libraries can work with them to provide services to the campus and to the community. If you live in the area served by CRRL, please take a few minutes to complete the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/crrlsurvey

Thanks,
