Subject: Re: Alternative library management systems for community run libraries
Diana
It is up to local communities whether they opt to stay with our LMS
(our preferred option) or seek other alternatives.
Please see http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=16724 and
the extracts below.
"North Yorkshire County Council's Executive has backed a plan to
maintain a vibrant library service while making necessary savings fairly
across the county. The decision gives more time for community ownership
solutions to be put forward for smaller libraries, but means the mobile
library service will cease from the end of September."
"Libraries in unsuitable premises or close to key centre libraries
The county council will continue to seek solutions with local partners
and groups for libraries in unsuitable premises or close to the county's
key centre libraries. If a solution is found, the library service will
continue to provide regularly updated book stock as well as training and
advice from members of the professional library team for volunteers and
partners.
Libraries in this category include:
Barlby;
Bilton;
East Ayton;
Embsay;
Gargrave;
Great Ayton;
Hunmanby; and
Masham.
There has been an encouraging response from interested groups so far
and the revised approach provides time for communities to find a
solution."
thank you
