The question
To ask the Presiding Officer whether the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body has any plans to establish another partner library in Argyll and Bute to take account of the overall si'e of the constituency and the number of islands in the area.
The answer
The Parliament is keen to grant Partner Library status to additional public libraries if there is sufficient demand, or where geographic and other factors mean that the public are effectively excluded from access to parliamentary information. Staff in SPICe have discussed with the Library and Information Service in Argyll and Bute the possibility of adding a second Partner Library there, and as a result we are pleased to announce that Oban Library has been designated as the Parliament's latest Partner Library.
