The council's proposal to reduce library opening hours is met with widespread criticism, as residents fear it could lead to library closures and inadequate service.
Friends groups express concern that the move to limit hours, which could see a reduction by up to 49%, was made without adequately consulting children and young people.
Joanna Bornat, a Friend of Reading and Education member, reported that residents were angry and dismayed during the consultation, criticizing the new proposed hours.
The library cuts are attributed to financial pressures on local authorities, raising concerns about the future viability of library services in the community.
