It has suffered a drop in income or around £40m from loss of membership fees and charges for facilities and servides. Glasgow City Council has agreed to underwrite a £100million income guarantee that has allows it to re-open around 90 facilities but another 70 or so remain shut. Protests have taken place outside the library each Saturday and currently the railings are covered with protest posters from members of the community.
