Kent County Council wants to know what you think about the library services. This is even more important now as we continue to recover from lockdown. Whether you are a current library user or not, we need your help to develop a new strategy.
Over the next few months there will be lots of opportunities to get involved as we listen to feedback and invite you to take part in more activities.
There are currently three ways to get involved:
• Quick questions – answer a few questions to help us understand if your use of library services has changed because of the pandemic
• Stories – tell us what Kent Libraries mean to you
• Ideas – tell us what would encourage you to use our services more or for the first time. This could be your ideas for new services or improvements to our existing services.
This engagement runs until 28 February. Please visit www.kent.gov.uk/shapingkentlibraries to find out more and participate.
