I use the library mostly on Thurs/Fri as it suits me better. I've recently retired and I also find it a nice place to mix with other people within the community and although I have kind of a set routine, lots of other individuals have it as part of their daily routine and the staff are pleasant, helpful and as nice as they come. Nothing is ever a bother for them, this also includes staff that have left in the past. I would personally prefer hours and staff remain as they are
Accessing the library within afternoons during the week including Thursday and Friday was regular to be able to access the resources, if anything having Wednesday open would be precious and changing library on Saturdays to be 12 - 1 or 1 - 2 might be even more practical. Staff and facilities are lovely. Winter and Summer and if anything Ardrossan and North Ayrshire would benefit from more open third spaces for older and disabilities people
The closure on the Thursday and Friday is a problem as these would be the 2 days I bring my 7 year old daughter to change her books. This is a community asset and restricting the hours and days open in hindsight will lead to further closures in the future. I am not supportive of 2 days of closure and a half day closure alternate weeks
I use the library quite a lot. I often need the use of a photocopier for documents travel, insurance etc. On the last Saturday of each month the library has a film in the morning which is great for me as I don't have a television. The library is the best place in winter for people to go when it is cold. Children are our future and the library has the school children visit so they can enjoy reading. This isn't a good idea to close the libraries 3 days a week. They should be a community resource not an afterthought. Ardrossan has little enough
A 37% reduction to opening hours from 26 hours to 16.5 makes the service largely inaccessible and possibly close to shutting down the branch. In my opinion Under the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964, UK councils must provide a "comprehensive and efficient" library service. Such drastic library cuts could arguably breach that obligation
I use the library every week, and the reduced hours will make it less accessible, particularly on those days when it is proposedyo be open alternate weeks. How will we know when it's open? In an increasingly on-line society, it will reduce access to computers for those with no other access.
Reduced hours in the library would impact me and my children massively. We enjoy our visits to the library at least twice a week and Richard and Stacey have become very important to the development and the enjoyment of books when I comes to my children. They enjoy exploring new topics, learning and reading which is fundamental to their development as a whole. The library and reduced access to the library would be a great loss to the community.
I enjoy the library as it provides a safe, quiet space that supports my wellbeing, and reduced opening hours would limit my access to this important resource.
