Lewisham Council has been threatening to close six of its libraries, to save money they say! Library users in the borough have mounted a vigorous campaign and legal challenge to stop them doing so.
Now they have announced that they are to join the 'London Libraries Consortium', a grouping of 12 library authorities who offer access to over a 100 libraries in the capital and most importantly shared costs, but in order to do this they must change their library management IT system, at a cost of possibly 100's of thousands of pounds! Were has this money miraculously appeared from?
