2. Tate South Lambeth Library options Opening times

People have made comments on current opening hours and have made suggestions for the future. We can alter the current opening hours locally if we believe they would be better for users. The options below summarise the feedback received so far. People felt a later opening and closing where possible could help more people. In addition people are keen to see a balance between opening library times and using the building for a wider range of activities, whilst using self service to drop in books for example. Recent information collected by the Library team confirms our quietest hours across the week are: 2-3pm, 3-4pm and 6-7pm. Our quietest day is Friday. Our Busiest day is Wednesday thats when our Under 5s come in. The daily head count averaged out for the last 3 weeks is as follows: Mondays Thursdays 48 users 43 users Tuesdays Fridays closed 39 users Wednesdays 61 users Saturdays 47 users

The options are presented below. Which ones have your support? Would a number of options work for you? We need to know your views before changing anything or even testing out if a change works.
