A total of 12 key sites will be designated as 'hub libraries' that offer a wider range of activities and services
Nottinghamshire County Council says it is “crystal clear” it will not close libraries or cut services as a new 10-year plan is considered. As part of mapping out how it will run libraries over the next decade, the authority plans to designate 12 key sites as ‘hub libraries’ that offer a wide-range of activities and services six days a week.
The consultation received 758 responses, and the council says 80 per cent of respondents were supportive of the new delivery model. However when respondents were questioned about their thoughts on the new tiered model, there were a higher number of negative responses. Cllr Purdue-Horan said concerns had been raised to him in that the situation could be worse for residents who will only have have library access points and mobile services, including in places such as Annesley Woodhouse, Collingham and Selston.
Cllr Carlton invited members to have open conversations with the council’s leadership on how to continue improving lower tier library services, and how some could potentially move up a tier.
