Rochdale Borough Library Strategy Consultation - Children and Young People Survey

Overview

This survey is just for school aged children and young people.  We want to know your views about public libraries in Rochdale Borough.  We are not asking about your school library. If you want to complete the more detailed questionnaire please go to: https://consultations.rochdale.gov.uk/research/library_strategy

Public Libraries have a special role.  They provide safe spaces that are open and welcoming to all, they also provide access to information and knowledge.  Great libraries make peoples lives better.  They are places where people can come together to take part in community activities to learn, to gain knowledge or simply to read for pleasure. 

The Council need to make cost savings of £45 million over 2 years. We need your feedback to help us shape the future of library services in the Borough.
The consultation will seek public, partner and staff views on how they currently use libraries and how that may change in the future, contributing to the Rochdale Borough Libraries Strategy.

We are interested in the views of all children and young people in the borough, including those that do not currently use a public library.
