Proposal for an Industrial and Provident Society (IPS)
The Full Council on 15 December agreed to create an Industrial
and Provident Society (IPS), to put the library service on a
sustainable footing for the future.
The Cabinet on 8 November discussed the proposal for three
structural models which have been
evaluated since July, with a full evaluation of each (PDF,
438KB) and summarised in
the Cabinet paper. The recommendation to adopt an Industrial
and Provident Society (IPS) as the future structural model for the
library service was submitted as
Agenda item 10. (PDF, 50Kb)
The IPS will have charitable status and be an organisation working
with but independent from the county council and free of council
bureaucracy.
Library Stakeholders Workshop
A workshop was held on Monday 26th September in Ipswich for
representatives of library campaign groups, organisations preparing
to run their local libraries as pilots, Councillors Judy Terry and
John Klaschka, and Council officers.
It was an opportunity for officers to explain their work
selecting and evaluating possible future models for running the
library service, work with the pilots and the thinking behind the
proposed transfer of properties.
Stakeholders asked questions and commented on the proposals.
They sought clarification on a wide range of issues such as
financial information, savings required, timescales and business
planning. Officers will incorporate the feed back in the
preparation of the paper for Cabinet in November.
It was agreed to publish copies of the presentations given at
the workshop.

Library Consultation
We would like to thank everyone who has responded to
the consultation and taken the time to send in their thoughts
and comments. The sheer volume shows how much the people of Suffolk
value their libraries.
We have analysed the responses and used the results to inform the
2011 Review of Library Services (PDF, 2.62Mb). This forms the
basis of the proposals which appear in the
Cabinet paper for further discussion and future decision
making.
At their meeting on 19 July 2011, Cabinet decided to consult the
public on the future of mobile libraries in Suffolk. This
consultation is available at
Have your say: the future of mobile library services in
Suffolk.
Here are the responses and correspondence received during the full
consultation that ran from 18 January to 30 April, so that you can
see what people said. Every effort has been made to remove personal
details and prevent the identification of individuals.
