Burnham Library Opening Times
Mon: closed Tuesday 10:00-18:00 Wednesday & Friday 10:00-17:00 Thursday & Saturday 10:00-16:00 Our Response:
The Friends of Burnham Library have met with the Management team of Buckinghamshire Library Service and expressed not only our disappointment at the level of cuts proposed but also our disappointment at the wording of the Press release implying that there are no volunteers at Burnham Library especially when we have just spent, as a charity, over £12000 in the last year revamping the children’s library, providing study pods as well as covering the care of the Courtyard Garden, manned cafe’s and other fund raising and footfall increasing activities. We will be able to cover some of the lost hours with volunteers, but we will need to recruit people prepared to make a commitment to regular slots. We will publish further details shortly. However we do hope that the Council will reconsider, especially as they are spending £500,000 on introducing the Flex system at other Libraries, for which they say that Burnham Library is unsuitable. Surely the small amount necessary to give us a few more hours would not break the bank?
