REPRESENTATIVES from several agencies met the public at their local library yesterday.
The event, at Ripon library, was staged to encourage people to make use of the services available in libraries.
The county's executive member for libraries, Carl Les, said: "We are committed to improving local access to services through the 45 library and information centres right across North Yorkshire.
"This open day demonstrated the wealth of advice and support for the people of North Yorkshire that is now freely available through our libraries.
"We are committing additional resources to upgrading the libraries, extending both their opening hours and the services they provide."
