The local public library byelaws had not been formally updated since 1977 and, following a new national template provided by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (and following their due process), the decision ratifies an up-to-date set of byelaws for the county. The byelaws are made under Section 19 of the Public Libraries & Museum Act (1964) and the decision relates to their revision and subsequent operational implementation.
