Consolidation of library services

Consolidation of library services involves merging or coordinating multiple libraries or their operations to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance access for users. By sharing resources, staff, and facilities, libraries can provide a wider range of services and materials without duplicating efforts. This process aims to streamline operations, offer better customer service, and ensure sustainability, especially in the face of budget constraints. Essentially, it’s about working together more effectively to serve the community’s informational and educational needs more efficiently.
