Stirling Council is seeking residents' opinions on the region's library provisions for the years ahead.
The views of people who live, work and study in the Stirling area will feed into a new vision and strategy for the council’s libraries, guiding service delivery for the next five years .
Convener of the council’s community wellbeing and housing committee, Cllr Gerry McGarvey said: “Our libraries don’t just lend books, they are key community hubs that deliver a wide range of services for local people. “Whether you use a library or not, we want to hear what your views – please spread the word. Don’t miss the chance to have your say to keep our libraries relevant, vibrant and at the heart of our communities.”
At that time, council leader Chris Kane thanked officers for “working closely and carefully” with the administration over a number of months on the issue. Councillor Kane has also previously said: “None of us want to see our libraries suffer ‘death by a thousand cuts’, which is why we’ll put £100,000 into a one year ‘library modernisation fund’ to help work with communities to design a library service that thrives in the modern world, not one which is held back by old buildings, some of which have been around for a century.”
