Maribyrnong residents can have their say on the future of the municipality’s public libraries during July.
Maribyrnong’s five library branches house roughly 140,000 items and host more than 1600 free programs for adults and families.
But in order to map out what the future of the service will look like, council is holding a series of in-person events and activities as well as running an online survey to get community feedback that will inform its new five year library plan.
“We want your ideas, experiences and feedback to ensure the plan reflects what matters to our community,” said Maribyrnong mayor Pradeep Tiwari of why public feedback was being sought.
“We want to know if there’s something missing, you’d like to see us offer.”
Residents don’t have to be regular library visitors or even have a library card in order to provide feedback, they just need to attend any of the three in-person events, starting at Central West Shopping Centre in Braybrook on Thursday, July 10, followed by Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre on Monday, July 14 and Lilardia Park, Footscray on Saturday, July 19.
For those unable to attend, a short online survey will be open to the public until Sunday, July 27.
