I attend the bookbug session which is held on a Tuesday at Dreghorn library. It is a great class for my child to learn, play & interact with other kids. My only days off work are a Monday and Tuesday therefor if the Bookbug sessions are scheduled at Dreghorn on the opening days I will no longer be able to attend.
Regarding borrowing books, I can visit the library any day, but a Tuesday closure would be hugely disappointing as this is the day I have my baby granddaughter, and also Bookbugs day. This would be a great loss to both of us, as she loves it, and we both enjoy spending time in this warm, happy environment, with other grans, mums and children and the lovely, friendly, helpful staff.
My family including my young children enjoy visiting and spending time in the library. Our local library access means we don't need to travel a distance for accessing services as required. During school holidays, knowing the library is open on days we can enjoy the service. Compacting hours will increase footfall but impact the quality space in the small library.
We, as a family, use the library weekly. Due to work commitments, we can only attend certain days. My children have built up a relationship with Dreghorn Library staff. My oldest is 9 years old and been coming to library from birth. Both my children are great readers and I thinkthis is because the library is always efficient in finding the books my children are interested in reading. I am also an employee at Dreghorn Early Years where community walks to the library are important. Some children do not get opportunities of the library experiences. We want to encourage children as young as possible that reading is important with closing libraries certain days this will have an impact on childrens ability to strengthen their vocabulary.
Dreghorn Library is very convenient for me. I am retired so the change in hours won't have too much impact apart from being available to visit at the times we've been used too. It seems strange that it will be shut both Monday & Tuesdays. Books finished over the weekend won't be able to be returned and new ones chosen after three days of no library. This could be an inconvenience to many borrowers. In fact if only open alternative Wednesdays this would be even longer. The proposals are disappointing.
As a rate payer of this community I believe we are entitled to a library open the full week. I use the library in a regular basis, any reduction in hours would be a disgrace as I was always brought up that a library was a important part of the community. I with all the reductions made in the community wonder what North Ayrshire Council are doing with my rates.
As a regular user of the library & a member of the knitting group based there, these changes will have an adverse effect. The knitting group currently meets on Tuesdays & Fridays, so will lose a place to gather on a Tuesday. I attend the knitting group & the library to socialize with other women my age & feel involved in my community. Closing on the proposed days will limit my opportunities to socialize. After fighting to keep this & other librarys open I find these proposals shocking & the presentation of the proposals as a done deal, it feels tantamental to attempting the closure of Dreghorn library by Stealth. There are no other regularly open public spaces in Dreghorn for the community to gather without charge & I am particularly concerned about the implied reducing hours will have on older people & young children who currently use the library after school. I also feel the heart of the village is being ripped out.
I would be very dissapointed for myself and community It is used for a lot of different ages and staff are very helpful
Impact on groups. Tuesday is the busiest day. Impact on staff rota/ change to hours. Potential staff cuts

Very disappointing to say the least. It will have a big effect on the groups who use the facilities.
