What are the actual savings when a library is closed?

​And let’s consider closed libraries. Maybe the school saves a salary that they can use to hire a tutor – but that tutor will not see every student in the school as the librarian would. There is less bang for the buck.

​Then you need to look at the financial value of the books that sit unsupervised in that closed library – or worse, slowly wander out of that library room never to be seen again. I’m really confused how any money at all is saved – but this line of thought will require its own article in the future.
