Excellent idea! I'll contact Somerset.

This is North Yorkshire where the tap water is pure and libraries were up for closure to save £35,000 per branch! It strikes me that many other authorities spend lots on bottled water. Perhaps any one under threat should pose a Freedom of Information question on costs of bottled water in their authority. Councillors don't like closing libraries but do like saving money. Give them something else to save and then they can gain kudos by saving libraries Annie Mauger is asking what members want from CILIP. Heres an idea for CILIP email a FOI enquiry to every authority for what they spend on bottled water and what they spend on books and send to the local press -- Ian Stringer
