Law Library: News & Events: Library of Congress/American Alliance of Museums Visitor Survey
Will you please help us by sharing your thoughts on how the Library of Congress, and museums broadly, can better support and engage you in 2021? Please take our survey.

This survey will provide us with data from our visitors as well as nationwide results, helping us be more effective in the coming months and in the communities we serve. The survey takes about 9 minutes to complete.
