'My Open Library" is part of “Our Public Libraries 2022 – Inspiring, Connecting and Empowering Communities Strategy”, a progressive strategy which aims to improve access, use and visibility of the library as a community hub, and develop the library as a focal point for community and cultural development.
The Strategy, which was guided by the public consultation process, aims to make public libraries attractive and welcoming spaces where all members of the community can access knowledge, ideas and information, and where people can reflect, connect and learn.
