Help shape the future of libraries

Date published: 06 February 2013


Residents can have their say on what the borough’s library service should look like in the years to come in a consultation that started on 31 January.

The major financial challenges facing the council mean that less money will be available for libraries in the future. This makes it vital for us to know which services people value most about their library and the ways in which they would like to see them provided.

The council’s first consultation runs until 1 May and the responses will be used to help produce options for the future of the library service.

Further opportunities to comment on specific proposals for the future of library services in the borough will be given later in the year.

Copies of the consultation are  available from local libraries until 1 May.
