Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

 Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services, following feedback from the last Barbican and Community Libraries Survey, in respect of Artizan Street Library’s trial of revised opening hours.  Members noted that later weekday opening has been successful and would continue but Saturday opening would not. Members noted that the local ward Members were supportive of the revised hours. 

Members also noted that the Barbican Library stayed open until 7.30pm on two weekday evenings and customers can return their books to any City Library.  In respect of Saturday opening, Members noted that this had not been successful due to the high number of other events in the City at weekends, which are advertised at the Libraries. 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
