Penrith City Library develops draft five year strategy

Penrith City Library develops draft five year strategy
January 18, 2023

Penrith City Library has developed its draft Library Services Strategy for 2023-2028 to guide how Penrith City Council manages and delivers future library services to the community.

The five-year strategy follows from Council having conducted research and extensive consultation with the community, including face-to-face workshops and an online survey in early 2022.

The strategy focuses on the four domains of public library services, which include facilities, resources, programs and services, and people and culture. 

The Library is inviting the community to provide further feedback before it’s finalised.

Penrith City Library invites community members to review the draft strategy and provide feedback on the proposed opportunities, improvements, and goals before it’s finalised. The Library welcomes feedback online via the survey, in-person at the Civic Centre, or via telephone.

Penrith Mayor Tricia Hitchen notes “Our Library Services team does a fantastic job providing services to the community, including keeping an updated and diverse catalogue of items available for borrowing, accessible systems, and a robust local history collection such as the beloved Photographic Collection.

“I highly encourage residents to review the draft strategy and provide their feedback on what’s been proposed for the next five years as this document will enable Penrith City Library to continue delivering high quality programs and services to the community.”

Residents interested in providing feedback can do so at yoursaypenrith.com.au/library-strategy2023 

Council has included a list of ways residents can leave their feedback, including online, email or telephone.

Feedback is open until Tuesday 21st February 2023.
