* This session will re-tell the LibrariesWest journey, from the inception of the Foursite Consortium in 1996, to today’s seven-authority ‘coast-to-coast’ service, supporting the delivery of library services from Porlock to Poole.

Kate Turner, Service Manager: LibrariesWest, will take us on a tour of how our longest established Public Library Consortium has embraced change since inception and has successfully responded to the challenges of austerity and local authority changes to continue to provide cost effective innovative services today.

 

**A workshop on how design-led thinking can help transform services and address common challenges, such as reducing funds and increasing demand. This session presents feedback from a project undertaken by North Somerset Council with the Design Council, which sought to review front facing Council services (including Libraries and Children’s Centres) to generate revenue savings.  The session will give participants ideas about how design thinking could be used to approach their own challenges and includes a practical exercise on customer led design.
