HEREFORDSHIRE Council is asking the county how its mobile library service can be improved.

New routes and vehicles were put in place last summer and now a public consultation will find out how they have been working.

A review will then look at the service as a whole, how it is best delivered, the length and frequency of stops and how it can change for the future.

Opportunities for working in partnership with other services will also be examined, as will ways to increase the number of housebound customers.

Ten public meetings are being held so people can express their views. Those who cannot attend can to contribute by filling in a comment card at any library in Herefordshire, including mobiles and Info in Herefordshire centres.

Parish councils will also have comment cards available. There also is a 'have your say' section at herefordshire.gov.uk or people can call 01432 260557.

The consultation period runs from September 23 to October 31 and all taking part will be informed of the results of the review.

The meetings all start at 6.30pm for 7pm and will end at 9pm. The dates are:

September 23: Brimfield Village Hall

September 24: Pencombe Village Hall

September 25: Wigmore Village Hall

September 29: Ewyas Harold Memorial Hall

September 30: Whitchurch Village Hall

October 1: Pembridge Village Hall
