Local Government Libraries and Library Corporations Survey

February 2023

The ASU is aware that some councils and Library corporations have already implemented or are quickly moving toward implementing unstaffed hours in local library branches. Whilst the ASU is supportive of the community having access to these important public spaces at later times, this access should never be to the detriment of workers physical and mental health and safety.

Please fill out the survey with as much information as you can to assist us in dealing with this matter.
