THE Isle of Wight Council has confirmed it is to press ahead with plans to hand over the running of five libraries to community groups.
In a statement issued this evening (Thursday), the council said the arrangements, which followed a library review, would mean no community lost its library.
The council will continue to run Cowes, Newport, Ryde, Sandown, Ventnor and Freshwater libraries, while community groups will take over at Bembridge, Brighstone, East Cowes, Niton and Shanklin.
The council has said the new arrangements will save around £500,000 a year.
