Lambeth Libraries - consultation - comments by 16 September

Lambeth has begun consulting on what people would like from libraries in the borough.

They are asking local people, staff and community groups to engage with them over the coming months in order to decide what a modern and effective service can look like.

You can access details of the consultation and a questionnaire for your views from the council's website www.lambeth.gov.uk/LibrariesHaveYourSay http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/LibrariesHaveYourSay

How can you get involved?
There are a number of ways in which local residents, organisations and groups can take part.

1. You can complete a questionnaire
Complete an online questionnaire from the council's website www.lambeth.gov.uk/LibrariesHaveYourSay .

We have also provided paper copies in all Lambeth libraries, which people can either complete and post into one of the "Libraries - Have Your Say" comments boxes in each library, or send back to the Freepost address given below.

2. Come along to a public meeting
If you would be interested in coming along to a public meeting, we will be organising further dates in September 2011 which will be publicised shortly. You can also register your interest using the questionnaire or using any of the contact details given below. We will also be holding a series of focus groups.
