Stakeholders
Current Stakeholders

The current stakeholders need to be included in the current and future plans of the library. Every age group should be provided with resources and programs suited to their age. The community has a variety of interests which are prioritised in the development of programs and learning materials. There are still a variety of ages visiting the library who are interested in learning about technology and how to use it.
Potential Stakeholders
- Other libraries
- Niche community groups such as textile groups, technology groups, senior groups, nursing homes
Potential stakeholders will ensure that we are growing with the changing community and advancements. In the future plans it is vital that we keep up with other surrounding libraries and advancing technologies.
Interests
The Stakeholders have to take into account whether they will benefit with the partnership. They may need to determine how much this will cost them and how much they will profit so their business is not reclining. They also may look at the social impacts and how it has positively changed the outlook of the business for an employee and customer perspective. They will need to ensure health, safety and security of their organisation when partnering with another organisation.
