if you press one of the smiley faces on the podiums by our 1st and 2nd floor exits, there’s a space to give free text feedback? We get a weekly report of the comments that people share, which provides some fun insights into the lives of our users.

Sometimes we get red frowny faces because someone is just having a rough time, but sometimes it’s because a specific piece of library equipment isn’t working. Knowing the ‘why’ behind the feedback is very helpful, and of course it’s always nice to get compliments!

Our team at the HSCL frequently tables at university and community events allowing us to share health information and resources to students and those in need. These events gives us a chance to help raise awareness and foster meaningful conversations. University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries
