Campaspe Shire Council is excited to announce that the draft 2025-2030 Campaspe Library Service Strategic Plan is now open for public comment following extensive community consultation in 2024. This comprehensive strategy outlines Council's vision for the future of library services in the region, aiming to enhance community engagement, improve access to resources, and support lifelong learning.
Campaspe Shire Mayor, Cr Daniel Mackrell encourages everyone to review the draft strategy and provide their input.
"This is the first time we have renewed the strategy for the library for several years, so the renewed draft strategy marks a significant step in our commitment to fostering a vibrant, informed, and connected Campaspe community.
"Our libraries have evolved to meet residents' changing needs, embracing new technologies and expanding services. This plan builds on our legacy of innovation and inclusivity, outlining the Council's vision for the next five years." Cr Mackrell said.
The draft strategy sets out strategic goals and priority actions summed up in four words – read, belong, access, and grow – aiming to increase community literacy, foster connections, improve access to resources, and grow our libraries' impact by engaging with new audiences of all ages and abilities.
"We are committed to providing inclusive and equitable services, expanding digital resources, enhancing programs, and creating more opportunities for community engagement and collaboration," said the mayor.
You can read the draft strategy on line or in person at any of our library depots and branches.
