I am really disappointed that Wandsworth are introducing fees for book reservations. I think it will reduce the amount of people using the library system.
\nIf there were problems of abuse of the system, there are other ways of
\ndealing with it, such as banning those that don’t play fair, not all the innocent people who do not abuse the system.<\/p>\n
Plus, the fee itself is so high.
\nMany supermarkets sell books outright for as little as \u00a33, and Wandsworth are charging half that just for reservation!<\/p>\n
Why is the fee is so high compared to other libraries in\u00a0 the same london libraries consortium?
