PLA is fielding this survey to better understand library staff roles and representation, hiring and retention practices, and goals and activities aimed at creating a welcoming environment for staff and community members of all backgrounds and abilities in public libraries nationwide. This survey was first administered in 2021 and the <a href="https://www.ala.org/pla/about/people/committees/pla-meac">Measurement, Evaluation, and Assessment Advisory Group</a> worked with PLA staff to update the survey to meet library needs for actionable data about staff roles and related policies.</p> <p>One person should submit the survey on behalf of their library. Often that person is the library director, administrator, or data coordinator. More information about the survey can be <a href="https://www.ala.org/sites/default/files/2024-10/2024_StaffSurveyInformation.pdf">accessed here</a>. The survey closes Saturday, December 14.</p> <p>All U.S. public libraries have a <em>free</em> <a href="https://www.ala.org/pla/data/benchmark">Benchmark</a> account to participate in open surveys and see selected metrics and visualizations for their library and its peers. Libraries that complete this year's survey will be entered into a drawing to win group registration for a live or on-demand <a href="https://elearning.ala.org/">PLA webinar</a>.
