The role of the public library continues to change and evolve, and so do the services they provide. In order to develop relevant and effective strategic directions for Victorian public library services, what tomorrow's library looks like needs to be determined.

The Minister for Local Government has asked the re-established Ministerial Advisory Council on Public Libraries (MAC) to conduct a review of the future role and functions of public libraries in Victoria, recognising their changing nature. Tomorrow's Library is a consultation component of this review and is an opportunity for key stakeholders to inform and shape tomorrow's library.

The review is being conducted in two stages. Tomorrow's Library forms part of stage one where the current use of Victorian public libraries and future needs, including the use of emerging technologies, will be assessed. Stage two will commence in early 2013 and will review costs, prioritisation of library projects and programs, sustainability and levels of funding.

This is an important opportunity for ERLC's customers to influence the MAC in relation to the development of local and statewide library services and their funding by all levels of government.

Written submissions in response to Tomorrow's Library are due by 31 May 2012.
