Stakeholders
Who are stakeholders? In regards to libraries, stakeholders are any person, group or organisation that has an interest or relationship with the library.
Primary Stakeholders are the individuals and groups that have a direct relationship with the library i.e. they use the library, its resources, and/or access events and programs.
Secondary Stakeholders are the individuals and groups that do not benefit directly from the library but may provide other services within the same or similar community.
