are now responsible for various services previously operated by º£½ÇÉçÇø and Bute Council including:
Following enquiries about libraries in º£½ÇÉçÇø and Bute, please find here the Council’s position (5 September 2025):
Live º£½ÇÉçÇø, who run libraries, had previously advised the Council of proposals to close certain libraries in º£½ÇÉçÇø and Bute. The Council would have required to consider whether there would remain an adequate library service in º£½ÇÉçÇø and Bute were these proposals to be implemented. Live º£½ÇÉçÇø has subsequently advised the Council that they no longer have proposals to close libraries, so there is no issue for the Council to consider.
Looking to the future, Live º£½ÇÉçÇø requires to submit an annual business plan to the Council and if, in the future, that process includes changes to library services or if such proposals arose via some other route, these would be considered by the Council.
