Kirklees Libraries' work with Adult Services | 6 August 2012

They have regular meetings to discuss how libraries and museums can work together (called Wellbeing and Culture Forum).

Examples of the work they do are:

• The bibliotherapy project
• Working with partners to extend the Home Service so it is not just a book delivery service but allows access to information about benefits, digital switchover etc.
• They have held 3 Home Service parties, and various groups meet including ITand biscuits, coffee mornings etc.
