Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Wood Green Library Enters Country's Top 20 Busiest Libraries League
Wood Green library is one of the busiest in the country, according to a national survey.
The library was the 13th most used with 685,424 visits for 2011/12 in the CIPFA Public Libraries Survey.
Many visitors use the library for downloading e-books, computer use, internet browsing, language learning, job searches, children's story times, or any of the other leisure or learning activities hosted in libraries.
Cllr Richard Watson, Cabinet Member for Communities, said:
"Our libraries are a fantastic community resource. It's great to see that Wood Green library is so popular and that so many visitors are making use of the new services on offer. We constantly review the library service and consult users as to how we can shape services to better suit them.
"We now have a library application(AP)- an online tool for use with mobile phones or IPODs- to help with book searches at home or on the move, and you can downlowad e-books or learn a new language in your local library.
"We still maintain the traditional library book lending service but have altered opening hours and activities in line with our users' suggestions."

I'm a bit puzzled by this news because from memory - and I may have got this completely wrong - I thought Wood Green Library used to be in the national top ten. If not last year then at least in the recent past. I've not yet been able to find the figures on the CIPFA website. So if anyone else has been curious and checked it, could you please post the link or links.
Also does anybody know which libraries have "altered opening hours and activities". And how these are:"in line with our users' suggestions" . These alterations (updates? reforms? refreshments? improvements?) don't seem to be announced on Haringey's website,
If someone can help out with some accurate, factual, up-to-date information on this, please post it. Or let me know in confidence. (alan.stanton@virgin.net).
