Methods of economising local library services
The arise of the internet and subsequently ebooks has lead libraries to a second term, since they are often used for certain students who prefer this place to concentrate. That is the reason why the local government has proposed to reduce costs in this service as another measure against economic crisis.
In order to achieve such aim, two ideas has been suggested, that is, reduce the opening hours and look for compromised people interested in being volunteers.
Nowadays the local library open from 9am to 9pm, which is far from making sense, as in the mornings students attend their lessons and few people come, not to mention that those who do it just read the newspapers. Therefore, it would be more reasonable to open just during the afternoon as to be useful for whom really need it. That idea would contribute to reduce significantly the expenses by half.
In regards to ask for volunteers to do the same tasks than librarians, that would be an unpopular strategy to economise. It would imply to dismiss most of the current workers, except from the head of the library. Furthermore, even though most of the time librarians in a lower position do not usually make use of their knowledge, this is indispensable to help users to find the proper information or encourage them to read. This is a task that even the most cultured volunteer is not qualified to do.
To sum up, the best solution to cut down on costs would be open the library when it is really necessary. On the contrary, volunteering in the library would turn into a unpopular move, specially because of those workers who would be directly affected for such measure.
You must answer this question. Write your answer in 220-260 words in an

attended a seminar held by a government representative. You have made the
notes below.
Methods of economising:

Some opinions expressed in the
discussion:
“Most libraries already have
inconvenient opening hours.”
“Libraries are an important
oducational resource.”
"It's important to have trained
librarians.”
Write an essay discussing two of the methods in your notes. You should explain
which method you think is more important for the local government to consider
and provide reasons to support your opinion.
You may, if you wish, make use of the opinions expressed in the discussion.
