Feedback needed on council library

Noel Smith from Noel Smith Councillor - Newcastle Ward

Every year we pay more than $300,000 so residents can access library services provided by other councils.

These contracts are currently under review. We'd like to hear from you to find out what options you prefer.

We assumed that being able to access libraries across different districts is valued by our customers but we can’t be sure without talking to you to find out.

We are considering four options: Keeping the status quo, cancelling the agreements, introducing a mobile library service and e-book collection, or working together to get new ideas.

Letters have been sent out to all ratepayers and library members in the district and feedback forms will be available in our libraries and offices. You’ll also find information about the current contracts and the four proposed options on our website: www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz...

Feedback needs to be in by 8pm on 3 November.
