Help us plan for the future of the library!  We are holding a series of focus group sessions as part of our strategic planning process. There are still spaces in our virtual sessions, which will be held on October 11 and 12. Each session is limited to 8 participants and will last approximately one hour.  See details and sign up for a focus group today.

Share Your Voice: Take our Community Survey 

River Forest Public Library has begun work on a new strategic plan and one of our first steps is to gather community input and ideas. Please share your voice by completing our short survey (10 minutes). Results from this survey will help us set appropriate goals and prioritize funding in ways that make sense for our community.  

All members of the household are invited to complete the survey. Paper copies are available at all service desks. The survey will be open until October 7. 

Take the survey now.
