With government cuts placing social services under increasing pressure, Froghill Library finds itself needing to save as much as £73 in the coming year.
As part of an initiative to reduce expenditure, library books are to be rotated rather than renewed, with no new purchases scheduled for 2019.

Spokeswoman Lyndsey Spalding said: “In
the interests of reducing costs, we do not envisage adding to our stock this
year. Rather, we will remove titles which have not been borrowed in six months
or more and replace them with similar material from our archives.”
The first of these substitutions is
to be made in the library’s Science Fiction section. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the 1968 novel by
Phillip K. Dick which spawned the hugely successful film Bladerunner, is
to be retired from next Monday.
It will be replaced with The
Final Refuge by Paul Capon.
