Public Consultation On Library Investment Fund

A public consultation on the future of library closures is to take place in two weeks, Camden Council has announced.

The council said it wants "as many people as possible to tell us how we should prioritise our spending in the future" before the consultation closes on 06 October.

A statement released on the council website, reads: "So far, well over 1000 people have responded to our survey, but we want to hear from as many people as possible on what they think a modern library service should look like and how we can best meet the needs of new and existing library users. If you haven’t already, please complete the survey and encourage friends and family to also have their say."

There is an adult survey and a children and young person's survey available, both of which can be completed online at camden.gov.uk/futurelibraries.
