"Look the UK is broke and we no longer can sustain these libraries, no matter how good they are at generating goodwill for us."
British libraries in Thiruvananthapuram and Patna had closed down and now Mumbai.
This library is going to get bigger and better online.Thus readers can choose books online and keep for as long as they like,but that will not include British magazines and Newspapers which was a major attraction in British library,many of the specialised are not available online.
There are rumors that that the whole thing will be shutdown on the grounds of "customer targets were not met ". It is most likely as age old members may not shift to the new medium.Besides that there is no mention of it on their website.
Publicizing the new online library services will require publicity budgets.
As maintanence costs keep increasing modifications have to come up.
