ANYONE with an interest in Somerset’s libraries has one only a few more weeks to take part in the county council’s consultation on the future of its Library Service.

The consultation ends on Wednesday, June 13, and more than 4,000 responses have been received so far.

The council is keen for anyone yet to complete the questionnaire to go online at www.somerset.gov.uk/librariesconsultation, view the proposal on the future of the library they visit most often and give their feedback.

Decision makers want to know the impact potential changes to the library service would have on individuals, families and communities; and whether residents are aware of the breadth of library services available.

The consultation is also an opportunity to comment on the proposals and make alternative suggestions.

Cllr David Hall, the council’s cabinet member with responsibility for libraries, said: “With just a month to go before the library consultation ends, I encourage anyone who has yet to have their say to complete a questionnaire and make their voice count.

“It’s important to us as many people as possible tell us their views on our proposals and how they may affect them before we make our final decision.”

A final decision on Somerset’s library service is expected later this year.
