A number of local authorities have gone down the road of having libraries unstaffed. Thanks to the Save Barnet Libraries campaign we now have some sort of performance measurement (using figures they attribute to Barnet Council).
They say that:
"36,964 people have now registered for
pin codes to access unstaffed libraries. This apparently represents over
two thirds of active library users from 2017-18 (the year that the
branches were closed to implement the cuts)."
They also suggest that a further 187,000 holders of library cards do not have pin numbers any more. That suggests to me a big fall in usage.
