Libraries for Life is a strategic development program funded by the Welsh Assembly Government to improve library and information services in Wales. The program aims to place citizens at the heart of service delivery and provide free access to resources. It also seeks to develop an integrated network of libraries through partnerships and innovative services to meet changing needs. The program has regional development officers covering different areas of Wales who work internally to increase library profiles and attract new members, and externally to understand customer needs and ensure quality. Examples of initiatives include leadership training, new reading groups, and partnerships between different types of libraries in Mid Wales.
