<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dear Washington Libraries,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">We need your input to help determine the future of the Washington State Library’s
<b>Statewide Database Licensing</b> (SDL) Program.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">The survey takes just <b>7–10 minutes</b>, and your voice matters! Please also share this survey with your staff and colleagues to ensure we hear from as many perspectives as possible.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b>SURVEY LINK: <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2025_SDL_Survey">
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2025_SDL_Survey</a></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">For over 25 years, the SDL Program has provided a cost-share solution for a database package (currently Gale Cengage), supporting libraries of all types across Washington—Academic, K-12, Public, Special, and Tribal.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Now, it’s time to evaluate the program’s direction. Your feedback will play a crucial role as we consider these possibilities:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><b>A new direction</b> tailored to evolving needs,</li></ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"> </p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><b>Staying the course</b> with the current model, or</li></ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<ul type="disc" style="margin-top:0in">
<li class="x_MsoNormal" style=""><b>Sunsetting the program</b> if it no longer meets your needs.</li></ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thank you for your time and your dedication to Washington libraries. Together, we can make informed decisions that benefit our communities.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
