IN RESPONSE to Fiona Williams (Letters, March 22), as a regular library user, I am all in favour of the £300,000 spent each year on new books .

I value the York libraries and the hard work of all regular staff and volunteers. I think it’s a very good service and money well spent.

Long may the excellent library services continue,hopefully safe for many years to come.
