A public consultation on updates to Shropshire Council’s libraries strategy ends this Friday, and people are being encouraged to have their say before the 8 November deadline.

The consultation is gathering people’s views on the proposed changes so the new strategy can reflect local priorities and needs.

The current library strategy includes a three-tier system which informs how resources would be financed and managed over a five-year period.

Two years on it has been identified that a refreshed strategy that offers a robust vision with clear priorities for the library service of the future, is needed.

We would like to seek your views so that the new library strategy can reflect local priorities and needs.

Michael Lewis, Shropshire Council’s library service manager, said:

“Shropshire Council recognises that there is a need for a new library strategy following a period of significant change for our library services.

“This is a great opportunity for you to help shape the library of the future and help us deliver a dynamic and inclusive library service for the people of Shropshire.”
