Upturn in visits to UK libraries

CIPFA shares this bit of good news from the BBC: “The number of visits made to UK libraries has leaped by almost five million in a year, a report reveals. The increase in visits between 2001-2 and 2002-3 – to 323 million – was the first rise since official records began in 1995, and accompanied a record £1bn investment.”

It just goes to show that investing in libraries isn’t a waste of money.
