Essex libraries are currently consulting on their future strategy. Predictably a lot of the publicity is on libraries ceasing to be part of the network, and possibly being taken over by volunteers.
Reading their library strategy document, I am struck at how it shares similarities with Brent's own Libraries Transformation. The concentration on services, not buildings; the need for new technology; assessment based on need. All seem familiar.
One big challenge will be whether a very large County can cope with the transport needs that a much smaller urban authority has successfully overcome.
