Dear All,
The running of our local public library is in the process of being handed over by the local authority to the town, and we are currently looking at ways to make this work effectively. The library will be staffed by a team of volunteers with the local authority still providing the books and IT services. Are there any public libraries which have already gone through this process, and are willing to share their experiences please? In particular, we are interested in how it works logistically and financially. Do you have a managing librarian to oversee volunteers and/or the help of a professional librarian to assist with the management of the service?
If you can advise us, we would be immensely grateful.
With best wishes, from,
Caroline De BrĂșn
Trustee for Friends of St Just Community Library
