About the Project

The Indiana Library Federation is working with EveryLibrary to help interpret, package, and deploy findings from the Indiana Library Public Opinion Polling Project.

The survey research was conducted by EPIC-MRA and made possible through funding support from the Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS).

The project provides valuable data about public perceptions, community priorities, and attitudes toward library services. These findings will help libraries strengthen advocacy efforts, improve community messaging, and better demonstrate their impact throughout Indiana.
