Libraries have long been at the heart of Suffolk’s communities. They are essential spaces for learning, connection, and support, and the council is committed to ensuring they remain hubs that bring people together. The focus is on building upon the excellent services already provided, strengthening libraries' role as trusted local resources that meet the evolving needs of residents. The goal is to ensure library services continue to meet the evolving needs of the community and we will not be taking away services that local people are currently accessing and benefitting from.
In addition to continuing its core library services, the council is investing £200,000 in mobile libraries, with a further £157,000 for new books and to replace public computers in libraries across Suffolk.
