Dear List Members, A keen parish councillor of a large, fast-growing village in Cambridgeshire has approached the Libraries service with the potential offer of hundreds of pounds worth of funding to extend opening hours at the branch library. We are interested to know if any other authority can cite a recent precedent for this sort of support. While many town and parish councils in the county generously donate smaller amounts of money for one-off events or for summer reading activities for children, we are not (yet) aware of a partnership of this nature, with significant, ongoing support being offered. So, if you know anything about a similar situation, please drop me a line. Many thanks, James Williams James Williams Graduate Trainee, Libraries, Archives & Information Cambridgeshire County Council Box CC10, Roger Ascham Library Site Ascham Road, Cambridge, CB4 2BD 01223 717272 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GREEN TIP: British Food Fortnight runs from 8th - 23rd October.
