Yet again, I see the phrase "award-winning library" in your pages. Surely you mean the building rather than the service it houses, because that resource is now in sensational disarray.
It's online catalogue often states there are, say, 20 items of a particular author, but on examination only nine are actually listed.
By that measure, more than 50 per cent of the stock is missing.
In particular, many books are housed in a store accessible only to staff.
I have recently asked at different times for ten stored books (and two CDs), only to be told the book has disappeared.
The latest one was an expensive new music score which the London music libraries don't even hold.
This library - as a service - needs rebuilding too.
