Ms Jackie Maguire:
No. We have extended the ones where it is not. In my case, we have 12 libraries and we have extended the opening hours in five of them for longer periods and put in more staff. We only have the open library in one of them. So it is a 24-hour service that that town gets in respect of that library, in terms of both collecting the books and bringing them back. The initiative has been quite popular. We have not, in any way, diminished either the library staffing or the library hours. In fact, we have expanded them.
