Your Library - Now and into the future!
Update me
This consultation has concluded.
Yarra Ranges is developing a five year Library Strategy and Action Plan which will be important in shaping the future of our libraries. Not only do we want to hear what you like or don't like about your library service but we also want to know how you think your library will need to change in the future.
With people's lifestyles and technology changing at a fast rate, how do we make sure libraries are still meeting the needs of the community? Your feedback is important and we encourage you to think creatively and express your ideas openly through this online forum. You can also see what other people have said and decide if you agree or not with their thoughts.
Our discussion leaders will join the conversation from time to time to ask questions and offer their thoughts.
