From April to June 2024, we consulted on the draft Library Services Strategy 2024 – 2029.
The results of the consultation (PDF) are on our website as part of the Executive Committee papers. There was strong support (97%) for the vision “Libraries are free welcoming spaces available for everyone, at the heart of the community, offering a place to learn, connect, develop and collaborate.” The strategy demonstrates a continuing commitment by the Council in providing great services based around the four National Universal Library Offers of Reading, Health and Wellbeing, Information and Digital and Culture and Creativity.
The Executive made a decision on 1 October 2024 to approve the Library Services Strategy.
