Why don't people use your library?
Libraries are often very focused on serving their users, and completely forget about all of the non-library users out there who still pay taxes, live in their areas, and are their patrons. It's rare to hear about libraries actually polling or talking to their non-users, so I was excited to read that the C.H. Booth Library (Connecticut) is surveying non-users about why they don't use the library and what they would like from the library.
One happy trick for surveying non-users: Stand in a grocery store parking lot and grab people. Everyone has to eat.

We're doing the same thing here at the public library in Stavanger, Norway. It will be interesting to see whether the findings will be similar.
