Society is changing rapidly and today’s library and one stop shop provides access to information through a variety of channels. Technology plays a huge part in our current service delivery and this will continue to increase in line with emerging technological solutions. Further government funding cuts of £196 million across the next four years, means we now face having to reduce the amount spent on some services, as a result, we have to make savings of £1.8m from the existing £4m library and one stop shop service budget over the next two years. We want to take this opportunity to engage with our stakeholders, residents, and communities to explore ways of working innovatively to deliver our library/one stop shop services against a landscape of reducing resources. We will explore all proposals received during our ten week consultation, and would ask that if you are an interested group or organisation that you complete and submit the following business case.
