Future of our libraries

Written 02/08/10

The County Council is looking at the future of our libraries - including Histon Library, and says:

The Library Service in Cambridgeshire is facing tough budget pressures and we are consulting on a range of ideas to transform the service and make the savings required. This consultation will take place over the summer, for decisions to be made in autumn, ready for implementation starting in 2011. The purpose of the consultation is to find out:

  • what people want and need from their library service for the future
  • whether services should be targeted at certain groups in particular (remembering that by law the Library Service has to be available to all who wish to use it)
  • which services have potential to generate more income
  • how far information technology can be used to deliver services
  • how services can be delivered or made accessible outside library buildings
  • the extent to which communities can become involved in managing and running local libraries

Please make the time to respond to the questionnaire (Adobe/PDF, 105KB)
