Edinburgh Future Libraries strategy 2024 to 2029

Edinburgh Future Libraries consultation

Updated 19/02/2025

Consultation on the Future Libraries Draft Strategy and potential options for service changes has now closed. More than 4,000 individuals and organisations took part in this process, which built on the feedback we received from 14,000 people during the initial engagement stage.

Edinburgh Libraries Service would like to thank everyone who took part and shared their views.

We've finished analysing the results, and you can read the findings in the Future Libraries consultation report.

Looking ahead, elected members will now discuss the key findings and our recommendations at the Culture and Communities Committee meeting on Thursday 15 May 2025.

Thank you to everyone for their contribution.
