Merri-Bek Libraries Strategy and Collections Policy.

What could make the library a more welcoming space?

What services and programs would you like to see at the library?

Merri-Bek want to hear a variety of experiences from everyone, whether you visit the library regularly or not at all.

You can borrow more than just books at the library. The list of different media and things that are available at the library is continuously growing and changing. These are what the Libraries call collections.

A Collections Policy guides what will and won't include for reference or loan at the library.

The current Selection and Collection Development Policy was last updated in 2015. In 2015 ebooks, eaudiobooks and streaming platforms were new and experimental formats.

Now there are lots of different digital media, types of books and useful objects like induction cooktops and thermal cameras.

Merri-Bek want more ideas about how else they can continue to develop the library collections.

To have your say go to the link below and fill out the surveys and/or go to one of the feedback sessions.

It's time to refresh our Library Strategy and Collections Policy to serve the needs of our community into the future.
