Library Study Circles Inspired by Horizons
The Haakon County Public Library Board and the Friends of the Haakon County Public Library initiated study circles in Haakon county to address library services and needs.
The study circles will serve the community by offering open and facilitated discussions for the community to share their opinions about library services and the library’s future. There will be a series of three meetings for each study circle group. At the first meeting each group will discuss the current library services and if they meet the needs of the county and the group will create a vision for library services in the county. Advantages and disadvantages to the visions will be discussed in the second meeting. At the final meeting participants will discuss how to move their vision into action. Lastly, the Board and the Friends of the Library will host a community wide meeting to discuss what happened at the study circles so the community can help to choose the path for future library services.
There will be 6 study circles in Haakon County. Please join us to share your opinion and vision for the library!

These study circles are going to be awesome! Thank you to our Horizons-trained facilitators for offering your time to facilitate the study circles! I attended last night’s first study circle and it was wonderful! I have a feeling the vision we’ve been looking for is going to quickly come to fruition as a result of these circles! Thank you Alison and Adele for putting all of these together!!

I attended the first Monday night study circle. It was very interesting to hear everyone’s ideas about the library. The time just flew. Kudos to the ladies for all their hard work in preparing for these study circles.
