City of York Council Library staff will be attending the next Ward Committee meeting on July 7th at Dringhouses School to outline the changes coming to the library soon, in particular the Explore concept and details of the new “self issuing” machines. Hopefully this will help scotch the rumour, put about during the election campaign that Dringhouses Library was at risk. As outlined in a previous Focus, the Liberal Democrat budget ensured that all of York’s libraries would stay open with a business plan supporting their evolution to Explore libraries.
