This document describes a presentation about a survey of school district library supervisors. The presentation explores the roles, responsibilities, and demographics of these supervisors. It plays a game of "Family Feud" where audience members respond to polls to guess the survey answers about typical titles, qualifications, departments, responsibilities, and time allocation of district library supervisors. The presentation aims to compare audience understanding to actual survey data from a national study of these supervisors.
