Following the completion of the 2014 Review of Library Opening Hours and an analysis of the results of the public consultation at 63 libraries, the proposals are to:
i. Increase and amend the number of opening hours at 21 libraries
ii. Amend the existing number of opening hours at 12 libraries, resulting in more convenient opening times
iii. Retain the existing number and pattern of opening hours at 30 libraries
The net combined effect will be an overall increase in opening hours of 50.75 hours per week, the equivalent of 2%, which will be achieved with no additional staffing costs.
