Tacoma Public Library is hosting conversations with people from our community (YOU). Each one is a chance for us to better understand people’s aspirations for our community, the concerns you have and what you believe might make a difference in strengthening the community. We’ll take what we learn from these conversations and use it to help make our work in the community more effective.
We can’t promise the conversation will lead to a new program or policy. We pledge to get back to you with what we learned and let you know how we’ll use what we heard.
Come and be involved in your community’s conversation at one of these dates/times/locations, opens a new window:
