It's not Andre, that's just the ones they know about.

The sign your own out system has never worked from day one and is a licence for druggies and down and outs to help themselves, costing us £1000's.

Another silly headline. The library is not the offender, it is the users who steal books or return them late.
And of course it happens more at the central library, it is a lot bigger than all the others.

Please, let us not trivialise this article.There are many books held at Central library that are paramount to the history of Colchester.
