On the one hand this library (presumably) stayed open during the great depession and 2 world wars. Therefore these cut backs are not due to shortage of money, but rather its distribution.

On the other, this library has changed and I suspect many now read books/newspapers online or order new/second hand books from ebay/amazon. And if Lewisham provided a selection of periodicals and books online instead, I imagine most adults would prefer this.

However the key services are now the children's library and the computer access imo, and there is no excuse to cut either of those, especially when the government has put so many of their functions online to save money.
