As detailed in the recommendations.

The Cabinet Member for Education presented the Council’s Welsh Public Library Standards Annual Report for 2011-12 together with the response of the Welsh Government (WG) to the report. A copy of the Council’s submission and the WG response had been made available in the Members Library and on the Council’s website.

The Council was achieving 5 of the 9 Standards in full and was partly achieving 4 of the Standards. Further information on the partly achieved standards were detailed within the report. The Welsh Government assessment of the report noted some informative in performance compared to 2010-11.

RESOLVED:

(a)       That Cabinet note the Welsh Public Library Standards Report for 2011-12 and response of the Welsh Government; and

(b)       That Cabinet endorse the actions outlined in 5.01 of the report to enable the Council to improve its performance against the Standards.
