OSCOTT HOUSE BOUND RESIDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO RECIEVE A FREE LIBARY SERVICE



Despite some "misguided" rumours going the rounds in the Oscott area, there is no intention to dispense with the Library Service at Home for people who are housebound. 
We all  know to be a highly valued service, and no proposals change this free service are to be introduced.
It would not be legal to charge for this service as the Library Service is statutorily free at the point of access (for book borrowing), and no one would not wish to disadvantage vulnerable members of the community except perhaps some who are putting round unhelpful rumours which are upsetting to some of  elderly Oscott residents. 

Sadly due to the government severely cutting its funding to the Council a lot of unpleasant cuts are having to be made in council services.
