Plan to Create Libraries of the Future
BBC News

Libraries in England could share their premises with health centres and
police surgeries under new cost-cutting plans.
.
The proposals - by the Local Government Association and the Museums,
Libraries and Archives Council - aim to keep open some 400 libraries amid
funding cuts.
.
Their report suggests libraries could be integrated with community
facilities like churches or be run in partnership with the private sector.
.
Readers could also have a more active role in running services, it says.
.
The Future Libraries: Change, options and how to get there report looks at
ways to deliver modern library services with "innovative approaches" that
will also save money.
.
It follows pilot schemes involving 36 councils.

Mr White told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the role of libraries had
changed significantly.
.
"The death of the book isn't going to happen," he said. "But equally if
you go into a library now you find rows and rows of young people or older
people using the internet and studying and that isn't something I think we
would've envisaged 30 years ago and certainly not 60 years ago."
.
Mr White said under the proposals in the report, volunteers could be used
to help professional staff in some libraries, which could also be run out
of non-council buildings to make better use of council assets.
.
Libraries had to take their "fair share" of the 6.5bn funding cuts faced
by local government, he said.
Readers' roles
.
The report proposes running libraries in partnership with the private
sector, charities or other councils and extending their reach by
integrating them with community facilities such as churches and by
providing health centres and police surgeries on site.
