IN the present economic climate, councils must make savings – and libraries will be involved.

The council seems intent on closing libraries and figures have been produced showing the cost of running them.

Suggestions have been made for saving money by reducing the days they open and the times of opening, plus other savings like reducing the number of papers and books purchased and charging for computer use.

But, so far, no figures have produced showing how much could be saved by such methods.

It would be helpful if such figures could be produced.
