There’s plenty of feedback already from the public meetings being held as part of consultation from the Library and Information Service on the future of the service.

Feedback is now in from last week’s public meeting in Camp Hill with local people raising a number of issues as part of the Library and Information Service consultation.
One of the main points from several speakers was the state of upheaval on the Nuneaton estate, with about 50 per cent of the estate demolished to make way for new housing – they said that when finished the project could provide about 10,000 more people to use the library. The local people said that despite the library only opening in 2007, the numbers of people registering with it had been good.
Local people also said that with high levels of deprivation in the area, some people may struggle to get to Nuneaton Library. Issues were also raised about the loss of PC use and the impact on community cohesion.
Local councillor, Cllr Sid Tooth took the opportunity to read a letter from the headteacher of the local primary school saying how vital the service is for the school and how the children have participated in library activities.
