Love your library!
You don’t need to be Poirot to know that libraries are great places to visit. So, it’d be a crime not to share the positive impact your local library has had.
There’s no mystery about why we’re asking – every three years we are required to run a consultation that captures the importance of libraries.
Follow the clues to Let’s Talk Monmouthshire to share your feedback by 17 October.

Let's Talk together

Over the coming months, we’d like to talk about what matters to you. It could be small issues that have a big impact on your community. We also want to know what works well. Let’s talk.

To get the ball rolling, we’d like to invite community groups and organisations to get in touch if you would like the leader of the council to come along to discuss what matters to you, with you.

Plus, it’s a chance for you to talk about any initiatives your community runs, and how we can work together for the benefit of your community.

Cllr Mary Ann Brocklesby is aiming to accommodate as many groups around the county as possible.
