Northumberland County Council Library Consultation
Northumberland County Council is asking the public for their thoughts to help them shape the future of Northumberland Libraries.
Here’s a link to their consultation…
Libraries Consultation 2026
We’re excited to announce that Northumberland County Council has launched a consultation about how we will deliver our Northumberland Library Service going forward.
From Monday 16 February, residents, community groups, businesses, members and non-members of Northumberland Libraries can have their say on several proposals.
The public consultation asks people to give their views on the future of libraries, including:
-
how we work with communities
-
new ways of working generally
-
opening hours and mobile library routes
-
using new technologies
-
how we deliver events, activities and information
We want to hear from as many people as possible to make sure everyone’s voice is heard. We hope local councils will play a major role in helping us to promote the consultation and have included all the information you’ll need to communicate about the consultation.
How to complete the consultation
We recommend reading the background information and proposals before completing the consultation.
Detailed information about each of the proposals can be found online at: https://nland.cc/librariesconsultation-hub
