Royal Borough reviews library service

Published 29 Jun 2009 16:00 0 Comments

LIBRARY services across the Royal Borough could be improved as a review is launched.

Residents are being asked to give their views on the current library service as part of a wide-ranging review - the first since 2001 - of the borough"s library services.

It will look at the service currently offered to library users and identify what it can do to improve and attract new customers.

Cllr Simon Dudley, lead member for adult and community services, said this week: 'I would like to reassure people at the outset that this is not about reducing hours or closing libraries - we simply want to find out who uses the service and how we can improve it.'

Residents can take part by filling in a questionnaire available from their local library or online at www.rbwm.gov.uk/web/libraries_review.htm

Public meetings will be held on Tuesday (07/07) in Maidenhead Town Hall or on Thursday (09/07) at the Windsor Guildhall, both from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.

Refreshments and vouchers for two free DVD hires will also be on offer. To reserve a seat at the meetings call 01189 626114 or email roland.kirby@ntlworld.com by Friday.

Following the consultation, a report and recommendations will be considered in the autumn.
