Impact on library policy\/practice:\u00a0<\/strong>NHS libraries are being encouraged to partner with local library services; this report will give NHS librarians an understanding of the current public library landscape.\u00a0 Central to the report is the theme of wellbeing (see page 9) which may be a useful way for NHS libraries to open a conversation with their local public library colleagues.\u00a0 The report also encourages partnership working and clearly there is an opportunity for NHS and local authority libraries to work together to work towards the five recommendations laid out in the report.<\/p>\n

An accompanying data booklet<\/a> summarises \u2018how people in the UK and Ireland use public libraries and what they think of them\u2019 which could be of use for business cases, impact reports or understanding how to target local services.<\/p>\n

Summary of driver:<\/strong> This report outlines how public libraries can continue to contribute to government policy goals and improve people\u2019s wellbeing for many years in the future. The report presents recommendations drawn from research conducted by Carnegie into library use and attitudes towards library across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Public libraries have the ability to contribute to individual and community wellbeing and to many of the priorities of local and national government. \u00a0Moving forward, library services and their advocates need to be future focused and outward looking, and resist the temptation to embrace a backwards-looking ethos.<\/p>\n

Key features of driver:<\/strong> This report seeks to contribute to the debate by sharing the \u2018state of play\u2019 for public libraries in the UK and Ireland revealed by our research. \u00a0The reports sets our five recommendations (\u2018lessons\u2019) for how libraries can continue to improve people\u2019s wellbeing both in today\u2019s political, economic and social context and into the future.<\/p>\n

These lessons are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Demonstrate value to policy makers, decision makers and funders to maximise public and other investment<\/li>\n
  2. Increase focus on tailored, personalised services whilst maintaining a focus on delivering a universal service<\/li>\n
  3. Accelerate the development of a user-centred, data rich service with a strong online presence<\/li>\n
  4. Invest in innovation, leadership and outcomes-based partnerships (one point is \u2018Local and national governments and voluntary organisations to explore the value of partnering with public libraries to deliver services and outcomes\u2019)<\/li>\n
  5. Enhance learning between libraries and across jurisdictions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Primary audience:<\/strong>\u00a0Members of the public and public library stakeholders.<\/p>\n
