answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p /> <p>The detail requested is not held centrally by this Department, however the Annual Report to Parliament published in January this year indicated our estimate of static library closures in England since the beginning of 2010, is around 90. While the number of public libraries has reduced there has been a notable growth in the number of libraries managed or run by the community. The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) collect, annually, from the individual library authorities, public library statistics which contain information relating to the net figure of public libraries open in each year, as well as the number and type of libraries and the average hours of opening per week. This shows the number of library service points open 10+ hours per week in England (incl. mobiles) at 31 March 2013 was 3,181. However, CIPFA do not collect data on the number of library closures or those that have reduced their opening hours. Copies of CIPFA statistics are available in the libraries of both Houses.</p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 01/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot previous answer version 8074 answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
