We wanted to hear from you about what you would like to see for the future of the Central Coast Library Service. We invited the community to tell us how you want to visit, borrow items and use the space and share your dreams for the future of the library experience!

A survey was available to complete online or by visiting one of our ten library branches across the Coast. The results will help inform a five-year strategic plan that will ensure our libraries adapt to the changing needs of our diverse community.

Council’s library services today extend beyond the physical branches and include a mobile library and home library service, Library @ YourTime well as an extensive range of free online resources and services. Find out more about Our Library Services.

A key factor in the success of our libraries has been their evolution into community centres with public internet access, technology classes, meeting rooms, and a range of programs and events for all ages.

Between 24 July and 6 August 2023 you could:

• Complete the survey online
• Complete the survey in a Library branch by speaking to our Librarians
• Ask for assistance or accessibility support in completing the survey by contacting us at engageme@centralcoast.nsw.gov.au
