A survey about the local authority’s library services over the next five years is currently open for residents to give their thoughts.

Although they have pledged to protect libraries, the council say there will still need to be “efficiencies” so they are keen to find out what is most important to people.

The survey is available online through the council’s website until Friday, February 3.

A number of in-person community engagement events are also planned this week.
