Northumberland County Council has launched a consultation on how it will deliver the Northumberland Library Service in the future. Residents, community groups, businesses, members and non-members of Northumberland Libraries can give their views on the future of libraries, including opening hours and the mobile library service; using new technologies; how the service works with communities; and how it delivers events, activities and information. Details of the proposals, and the survey itself, are on this page. If you would like to ask questions in person, there is a drop in session at Wooler Library on Wednesday 11 March from 2.30 pm to 4.30 pm, and one at Berwick Library on Wednesday 18 March from 11 am to 1 pm. The closing date for the survey is 13 April 2026.

Library Services Public Consultation
Northumberland County Council is seeking views on the library service. It says: “We would like to understand how you use the library service at the moment, what services are important to you and how we can improve these services in future. You do not need to be a regular user of library services in order to complete [the] survey – we are interested to hear your views whether you use the library services regularly, just occasionally or even if you have never used a local library service. Your feedback will help us shape both the future direction of our library services and how we will deliver them.”
For more information and to complete the survey, go to the Library Services Public Consultation page on the Northumberland County Council library site.
