Directors to be heard – as appropriate.

The Head of Barbican and Community Libraries was heard in respect of the contract established between Sopra Steria and ‘Libraries Connected’, which will assist non-UK nationals in applying for visas, residency and Citizenship via the capture of biometric data. Barbican and Community Libraries are amongst the UK public libraries which are participating. Shoe Lane Library had launched the service, and the Barbican Library would follow shortly.

RESOLVED – That the oral update be received.
