(From The Journal)
Byline: Paul Loraine
THE credit crunch saw more than 10,000 new borrowers sign up for a library card this year. Newcastle's book lenders saw record numbers flock into the city's facilities - and said the economic slowdown was partly responsible.
They recorded a massive 33% rise in members, up 10,626, and also gave 4,000 children their first ever library card, a rise of 14% on last year.
And they said the opening of the new Newcastle City Library in 2009 would prompt new record numbers of borrowers to sign up.

She said: "I certainly think it will be an opportunity for us to increase the numbers that have been growing anyway this year.
