During early 2016 the Bayside Library underwent a service review, part of the process for the review was to engage with the community, both users and non-users, to seek their views on libraries. One of the responses that stood out in the survey was the answer, from non-users, to the question “why don’t you use the library?” which was “I don’t know what you do”.

Doing this job, the study used exploratory investigation in the form of executive interview, focus group discussion, and questionnaire survey. To examine reliability of the determinants “item-total correlation” was applied.
