Strategy
A Strategy for Nottinghamshire Libraries [pdf] was agreed at the full council meeting in December. The strategy outlines our promises as a public library authority, the priorities we will focus on, and the outcomes we aim to deliver for Nottinghamshire and its people.
Our Vision
To be a library, archives and information service at the heart of Nottinghamshire communities and community life.
To achieve this we aim to:
- Inspire the enjoyment of books and reading
- Create knowledge through access to learning, information and the provision of a continuing record of local heritage and community life
- Stimulate and encourage cultural activities
- Offer excellent and inclusive customer service for all every time
In the short and medium term we will achieve our vision by acting as one service to:
- Invest in buildings and modernise the service ‘offer’
- Provide opportunities for community and cultural activities
- Engage and consult with customers and communities
- Focus on the quality and consistency of customer service
- Provide value for money
- Recruit, develop and train staff to meet the needs of customers and communities
- Respond to change in the community and develop and embrace best practice
- Develop partnerships to integrate customer services relevant to local needs and opportunities
