The following post is taken from an email recently received from City of Edinburgh Council regarding a new phase of public consultation on the future of libraries across Edinburgh. Please consider responding to the consultation for which a link is provided below and let us know if you have any views that you wish us to include in any response we provide to the Council.
Edinburgh Libraries are developing a new Future Libraries Strategy that will provide a framework for service delivery and development for public and school libraries over the next five years. To help shape the new strategy and inform future proposals for change, Council Committee agreed to carry out an engagement and consultation process to gather feedback from individuals, groups, and stakeholders across the city. The first stage of the engagement process was successfully carried out earlier this year, and I’m pleased to let you know that the next stage of our “Future Libraries” consultation is now live and will run until 18 December. As a valued stakeholder, we would appreciate your involvement and to hear your views and ask that you complete the consultation questionnaire which can be accessed here https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/futurelibraries

Due to the closure of Libraries the advice for people who require hearing aid batteries is to contact the audiology department at Lauriston Place either by phone 0131 536 1637 – open 10am – 1pm and 2pm to 4pm or email Audiology@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk and they will send batteries out by post.
The Audiology Department advice that people either phone or email and not physically attend as they want to limit numbers of people visiting Lauriston Place as much as possible.
Individuals will get two packs of batteries for each hearing aid every four months.
If you have any queries regarding increased battery use please phone the Audiology office in 0131 536 1637.
Deaf Action on Albany Street will also have hearing aid battery supplies for NHS hearing aids
