Council bosses have renewed their call for residents and bookworms to have their say on planned cuts of up to £1m to the borough's libraries.
Out of print: How we reported the planned cuts
You can tell councillors what you think about the plans until Wednesday, December 16. Sutton Council said some 2,200 people had made their voice heard so far.
FROM SEPTEMBER: £1m cuts loom for Sutton's libraries
Options include closing Beddington library, which the council said has seen “a low and diminishing usage”; ending the mobile library service; paring back opening hours; and recruiting volunteers instead of paid staff.
Services could be privatised, as has happened in Croydon and Wandsworth.
