Purpose

To consider creating inclusive neighbourhood spaces by
decommissioning the open plus system at five libraries. Open Plus
technology offers libraries the flexibility to extend access to
library materials and spaces beyond staffed hours and allows staff
to complete their non-frontline duties whilst still allowing the
public to access the library.

Content
