Library Flex is a new delivery model for eight of Buckinghamshire Council's larger libraries.
The aim for this initiative is it will allow Buckinghamshire Libraries to maintain their libraries, offer longer opening hours, and make significant savings.
Library Flex will increase the opening hours at seven of the main libraries by at least 20%, and Amersham Library's hours will increase by 129%. Staff will be available during the busiest times, with self-service technology and security measures in place during quieter times. This model also allows for wider community use of library spaces outside of staffed hours.
To prepare for the launch of Library Flex, hours will be will temporarily reduced the of the eight libraries involved from 2 June. This is to ensure that all necessary installations and tests are completed before the extended opening hours in July and August.
Libraries involved include: Amersham, Aylesbury, Beaconsfield, Buckingham, Chesham, Hazlemere, Marlow and Princes Risborough.
