Grove Library Latest

Today, I have been involved in a briefing regarding the future of Oxfordshire libraries which is due to come before a special Cabinet meeting on Monday 12th December at 1pm.  The agenda is now published on the County Council's website and there is a press release here.  Grove is classified as a Community Plus library which means that under these new proposals, the library would be staffed by two-thirds council paid staff and one-third by volunteers.

This should be good news for Grove because I would hope that we can find enough volunteers to help run our local library as I know how much residents value this important service.  I shall be working with the Friends of Grove Library group (FROGs) over the forthcoming months to ensure they are supported in trying to get the best for our community.  As a founder member of this group, I know they are in a strong position and their willingness to co-operate with the council has been recognised.
