Three at-risk Nottingham libraries have been saved from closure
by altering the library opening times, Nottingham City Council has confirmed. On Thursday, January 17, the council’s Executive Board voted in favour of keeping all existing libraries open, but said it would shorten opening times across the library network.
However, after some savings were achieved through a staffing restructure in the libraries service, the council said only £79,000 of savings were needed from the original £233,000. The council said the decision will allow the digital service and use to be expanded across the libraries, as well as ensuring a comprehensive service in light of local authority financial challenges. It has also allowed the council to deliver wider community needs and council priorities, such as literacy, learning, training and support into work, support to operating in a digital world and community health and well-being.
