It is proposed that there would be 9 council run libraries, 3 lottery funded ones and up to 14 community style ones. Haddenham and Long Crendon are among those that could change to a community style, which would be run by the public. There will be public meetings about these proposals. One on 9th December at Long Crendon Baptist Church at 7.00pm and another on 15th December at Haddenham Library at 2.00pm. Alternatively, you can visit buckscc.gov.uk/haveyoursay to make your views known.
