The matter of\u00a0whether the\u00a0funding of Rhiwbina Library will continue is to\u00a0be discussed before full council next week as part of the budget debate.
\nThis was confirmed at a cabinet meeting yesterday after residents recently held a\u00a0community poll asking: “Should Cardiff Council continue full funding for Rhiwbina Library?”
\nAfter a turnout of 28.07 per cent, 2,595 people said “yes” in the poll, with 19 saying “no”.
\nLibrary funding has been a hot topic of debate in Cardiff recently, after the council announced\u00a0plans to stop funding seven libraries in the city.
\nCathays, Roath, Rhydypennau, Rumney, Radyr, and Whitchurch were also all under threat before protests led the council to reassess this issue.
\nThey have said they are\u00a0continuing to look in to alternative ways of providing library services.
