It is an agreement between the three public libraries and three university libraries in this area. It commits them to co-operate more closely in providing access to information and developing lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Information is now available in a variety of forms, both printed and electronic.
The website will also give detailed information about how to make use of the participating libraries. Procedures for visiting and using the various libraries will be simplified and made more consistent. When in place, the arrangements will be widely promoted in all the member libraries and throughout Leicestershire and Rutland. Staff training sessions will develop greater knowledge and awareness of the range of services offered by all the libraries, so that they can better advise their users about additional sources of information in the area. Those registered with one library can use their card in any other public library in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland.
