11   PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

     1      BRIAN O’CONNOR
            Q1: Can Noosa Council provide an update on new arrangements regarding the suite
                of library services it proposes to introduce following phasing out of the mobile
                library service - specifically the use of book dispensing kiosks. Can the reply
                include information about the towns where kiosks will be located, where they will
                be placed in those towns, the number of books they will contain, how they will
                operate, the timing of their installation, signage and whether thought has been
                given to placing two kiosks adjacent to each other in larger towns (i.e. one for
                adult books and one for children's books)? Making available a picture of the
                model of dispensing kiosk Council wants to use would be helpful.

            Q2: Has Noosa Council given any thought to approving the design of 'street library'
                cabinets and making these designs available to the public and also to mens
                sheds across the shire so that individuals can build or order street libraries in
                smaller towns in order to encourage literacy and reading, as well as socialising
                facilitated by such facilities.
