The consultation document begins……. “By 2020, the county council will have seen its library budget fall dramatically from around ?7.8m in 2010 to an expected ?4.2m for 2019-20. On top of savings of ?2m already achieved, the library service has to save a further ?1.6m. The reduction is part of a cut of some ?167m to the council’s overall spending. Given the money we will have, we have described below what we think we can do with it to preserve a library service. We want to know what you think about our proposals and how you think we can make them work, in order to help us make the best decisions.”
