#Let'sTalkLibraries Update Phase 2 | Thu 29 September 2022 at 4:30pm / 5.30pm
As you may be aware Dorset Council are developing a new library strategy which will inform how we develop and deliver our library services over the next 10 years. The strategy is being developed across two phases of public consultation; phase one “Let’s Talk Libraries” consultation ran October 2021- January 2022. We received over 7,500 survey responses and carried out a range of engagement workshops. Phase one Let’s Talk Libraries was designed to be an open conversation with our communities, employees and partners to understand what they value about our service, how we could develop our services and how we can become relevant to those who do not currently use our services.
By listening to all our communities’ views, we have developed a draft library strategy, with mission to: “To Inspire, Connect and Enable our communities through our services”. We are preparing to launch our second phase of public consultation on the draft library strategy; where we will be asking our communities to prioritise the strategy outcomes that are most important to them and help shape what delivery could look like in their communities.
We look forward to updating the next Working Together Webinar on how we want to hear from you and your communities during this important second phase of consultation, to help refine the draft library strategy and shape the future of Dorset Council’s library service.

Dorset Council Libraries Consultation Update - 1st August 2022 4:30pm
Following a successful and engaging phase one Let’s Talk Libraries consultation, the library service are pleased to return to DATPC to offer an update on progress.
Dorset Council’s new library strategy is being developed across two phases of public consultation: phase one Let’s Talk Libraries consultation took place in October 2021 to January 2022 and we heard from over 7,500 Dorset residents, partners, employees, Councillors and businesses. The draft library strategy, reflects the wealth of feedback received during phase one consultation and evidence around local need.
During the webinar we will discuss our strategy development process and introduce the draft strategy, including our vision, our mission, strategic aims and desired outcomes.
As well as introducing the draft strategy, we will walk through the work we will be completing over the summer in preparation for phase two Let’s Talk Libraries consultation. Phase two consultation will launch in the autumn; during phase two consultation we will ask our communities and partners to help refine the draft strategy, we will explore what the most important strategy outcomes are to them and what delivery could look like in their communities. This will allow us to prioritise resources and develop delivery action plans by spring 2023.
