Adjust library printing fee

Statement

We would like the council to adjust the library printing fee. Provide resident discount if possible.

Details

The library printing fee drastically raises from 2022. It is understandable that the fee follows the inflation rate. Referencing the BoE inflation calculator, 2022 to Mar 2024 inflation rate is about 9.31%. While from 2020 to Mar 2024, the inflation rate is about 20%. However, the raise of library printing fee is far higher than the inflation rate. For example, in 2022, we could print a A4 black and white paper with just 10p. It went up to 15p in 2023, and then now 20p. It does not make sense to raise to a double these years. The library serves for residents for convenience, not to earn money. Hope the council could adjust the fee to acceptable level.
