About Us and Our Aims
Pembrokeshire Library Service is part of the Cultural Services department, which also manages our arts, Archives and Museum Services, as well as Scolton Manor Country Park
Pembrokeshire Library Service exists to make a positive difference to people’s lives; to reduce disadvantage; to inspire lifelong learning, and to create stronger and healthier communities.
We will do this by: delivering consistently excellent services; by targeting our activity at people and communities in most need, and by working collaboratively to deliver more than we could achieve on our own.
Between April 2013 and March 2014 our libraries had:
- 275,980 visits
- 365,349 loans of books and other resources
- 18,021 uses of our free internet access computers
We asked our customers what they thought of our libraries:

Our priorities have been inspired by our analysis of what the best libraries deliver. We aspire to be amongst them – to be the best public library service in Wales. We will achieve this by delivering three overarching priorities:
Priority 1: Creating stronger and healthier communities
Priority 2: Reducing poverty
Priority 3: Delivering excellence, efficiently
