BOOK borrowing at Bolton's libraries has sunk to a new low, although library bosses say they are changing with the times and adapting to different needs to keep visitor numbers healthy.
The internet has allowed many people to do research at home, and is obviously a very helpful tool. But libraries give so much more - personal help, a surprising array of sources and even a quiet place to study as well as internet access.
Sadly, it's a matter of use them or lose them. So, please, support your local libraries.
