Without close reading Cllr Powney’s comments could be taken to imply that library usage has increased marginally since the closuire of half Brent’s libraries. However the six libraries closed in October 2011, so his 2011/12 year includes five-and-a-bit months when all twelve libraries were open and six-and-a-bit months with just six open. A like for like comparision of April to September 2011 (12 libraries open) with April to September 2012 (6 libraries open) shows a 12% drop in issues.
