FOI Request - School Libraries

Request 101002041488

1.       What was the total spend by schools (including primary, secondary and special) in the local authority on new books, including ebooks, for school libraries in (a) 2015/16, (b) 2016/17 and (c) 2017/18.
2.       How many new books, including ebooks, were purchased by schools (including primary, secondary and special) in the local authority for school libraries in (a) 2015/16, (b) 2016/17 and (c) 2017/18.

Response 15-02-2019

As all books purchased for schools are coded to the same financial code, we are unable to identify what has been bought specifically for school libraries. To do so would require examination of each individual invoice which would cost the Council in excess of £600. In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost, we are therefore unable to provide this information.
