Libraries consultation
The way people use libraries has changed. As councils across the country face tough financial times, we need to make sure library services thrive for years to come.
That’s why we have launched a 12-week public consultation. We are asking residents for their views on the future of local libraries.
The consultation is now live and runs from 31 July to 24 October 2025.
