The City of Ryde is developing a new Libraries Strategy to guide the future of our libraries. Your input is valuable in helping us create libraries that are vibrant, inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for all.

If you live, work, study, or visit the City of Ryde, we want to hear from you. Your feedback will help us understand how our current libraries are used and identify opportunities for improvements or new services, programs, activities and other offerings.

The Strategy will cover a wide range of aspects related to libraries including:
