Residents are being asked to help shape the future of West Dunbartonshire's libraries.
A consultation has been launched inviting the community to share their thoughts on accessing library services, activities, and priorities.
Residents can contribute by completing an online survey: https://arcg.is/fqn9j0.
Alternatively, paper copies can be found in all library branches.
The survey is open until midnight on April 27, 2025.
All feedback received will be reviewed and will contribute towards the development of a new library strategy for the next five years (2025–2030).
Councillor William Rooney, convener of West Dunbartonshire Council’s corporate services committee, said: "Libraries are important institutions of empowerment in our community.
"They offer a wide variety of reading materials, including physical and online books, magazines, and newspapers, which provide opportunities to read, write, and learn.
"These resources can also be accessed through school libraries and our mobile library service.
"Libraries provide a friendly and supportive environment with access to free Wi-Fi, computers, and other digital devices, complemented by quality ICT training and guidance for individuals who require assistance.
"In addition, libraries host a wide range of activities that bring people together, such as Book Bug, Baby Yoga, Dungeons & Dragons, and creative writing.
"Libraries are incredibly agile establishments, and their utility is determined by the communities who use them.
"I strongly encourage residents to get involved and have their say in shaping the future success of our libraries."
Councillor Lawrence O’Neill, vice-convener, added: "This is an opportunity for residents to share their views on their experiences of accessing library services in our area and to contribute to shaping the strategy for the future of the service.
"I would encourage people to take the time to contribute and provide their feedback and views."
