HOW CAN LIBRARIES BEST DEMONSTRATE VALUE AS COSTS COME UNDER

PRESSURE?

John Holden

‘Libraries are not about books’

‘..the vast majority of our users come to libraries to borrow

books’

‘Visits to public libraries in Britain rose by six per cent’

‘The number of people borrowing books is down by 3.3 per cent to

12.5 million’
