answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2021 answer text <p>Please note that public libraries is a devolved matter.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>In England, whilst library buildings were closed or access limited during the Covid-19 pandemic, there was a significant rise in the number of people accessing library services online and downloading e-books and e-audiobooks from their library service.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Although absolute numbers of online readers increased, this was from a low base and it is not yet clear whether this will be a permanent shift or drop back. It will be for local councils, as the statutory providers of library services, to consider the needs of local people and communities with regard to future planning for digital library provision.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Total support committed to councils in England to tackle the impacts of Covid-19 is over £12 billion. Over £6 billion of this is unringfenced in recognition that local authorities are best placed to decide how to meet the Covid-19 pressures in their area, including public libraries.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 28/06/2021 14:34:38 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
