Hillside Library Programme Survey

Hillside Library uses this pie chart to summarize a single-choice question about preferred community programmes. Each response belongs to one category, making a part-to-whole view appropriate. Children’s activities receive the largest share, followed by author talks, digital skills and book clubs. This can help staff choose which programme ideas deserve more detailed planning. The chart does not tell the library why respondents chose a category or whether the sample represents all residents. A real presentation should state the survey dates, response count, recruitment method and whether respondents could select only one answer. If people could choose multiple programmes, do not use a pie chart; use a bar chart because the percentages will not sum to 100. Preserve the underlying responses for more detailed demographic analysis where appropriate.
