As a retired person I can choose to go any day. However, rotating staff may result in staff being less familiar with their customers and reading habits. A recent BBC article on Scandinavian libraries indicated that their libraries have been rejuvenated by increasing, NOT REDUCING, the services they offer communities. Has this been considered?
When requesting books the time to receive them would be longer. I have never used Wednesdays and seldom use Saturdays so a week day (Mon Tues Thurs Fri) would be better than Weds or Sat. Libraries should be open longer to encourage all types of reading for everyone,
Personally the proposed changes to the opening hours of the library here in Beith would not affect me so long as the branch remains open. However i would hate to see any of the staff made redundant here in Beith or elsewhere. Although I suppose redundancies are inevitable. As a senior citizen I would be lost without access to books.
Beith library is only open a few hours, at this point when will anyone ever get time to pop into library. Depends on when im working if I get time to pop in, its not easy with the times just now, I will have no chance to get in . If hours are made any less .

It is difficult to comment when you don't know what the reduced hours will be.

Reduced opertunities are bound to have an effect as it has to be more of a planned event
It's already barely ever open when I want to use it
In many ways - As it stands library hrs are limited compared to even somewhere like Lochwinnoch!
