Feedback from the community will be included in future strategies and planning to ensure local libraries continue to meet the needs of the growing Port Macquarie-Hastings community.

Council currently manages the libraries in Laurieton, Port Macquarie, Wauchope and the Mobile Library, providing a range of resources to our community such as the loan of books, DVDs and ukuleles, computer access, free Wi-Fi, study spaces, and virtual reality experiences.

Group manager, Lucilla Marshall said council is looking to capture a diverse range of community ideas so that it can ensure it continues to provide high quality library services that benefit everyone.

"From first time readers to students, families to seniors and everyone in between, we want to hear from one and all," Ms Marshall said.

"Our libraries are much more than just books, and we've taken the lead in trying new things and providing new experiences in our libraries, like starting our early literacy programs and making virtual reality tech accessible to all.

"New initiatives like these are very popular, create diversity in our libraries, and have sparked a rise in memberships from a younger demographic."

The community's feedback will be used to inform plans that will ensure library services can cater for future demand.

"We want to continue the transformation of our library services and stay on trend with the changing expectations of our community, and we encourage anyone with an idea, big or small to let us know," added Ms Marshall.

The community can share their thoughts at any of the region's libraries at Laurieton, Wauchope and Port Macquarie, or at one of the following community pop-up stalls:
