Library services consultation

There are two options for consultation:

  • option 1 - Reduce the library staffing budget to deliver savings by removing two vacant posts
  • option 2 - Cease operating library services from Cippenham and Langley library buildings. 

At this point, the decision is to consult on these options, no decision on changes to the library service will be made until Members discuss all options with feedback in Spring 2025.

The consultation asks for a range of feedback, looking in detail at how the options being put forward could make an impact and what alternative models for the library service could look like.

Have your say

The consultation will run from 17 December 2024 and close 25 February 2025.
