I think the two statements:

Quote:
Lewisham Council has acknowledged that the issue of declining book borrowing

and

Quote:
Greenwich Council has recently approved plans for a new library with the potential to attract 100,000 visitors a year

should not be compared.

I used my local library service (over near Clapham Junction) extensively a few years ago while studying for professional exams. I did not borrow any books; I witnessed a large amount of library visitors visiting everyday without borrowing any books: elderly people reading the newspapers, teenage students coming to study after school, and adults coming to use the computers.

The library is not just a place for book borrowing, but also a place for reading and adult learning.
