Colac Otway Shire is reviewing how we provide library services for our community. We would like to know what our community needs because we have an important decision to make regarding the future provision of our services. We either remain with the current provider, being the Corangamite Regional Library Corporation, or we determine to join a larger organisation, this being the Geelong Regional Library Corporation.

The decision will be based on either keeping the library services 'as is' or make some changes to improve the service offering. The proposed changes will mean membership in a much bigger library service organisation, access to things such as a larger book collection and a broader range of services such as computers, internet and community programs. The additional costs of providing the improvements may be up to $5 per person, per annum which need to be funded by Council.
