I saw a striking factoid in the Camden New Journal recently. Camden are considering reducing their book buying budget by 40% to save money. This would save half a million pounds a year. If Brent were to save this amount of money by cutting book buying at our libraries, we would reduce that budget by 90% (to just 50,000 pounds a year) It gives a clear idea of just how under resourced Brent libraries have been compared to other Boroughs.
