Mobile libraries hit by fuel price hike

SEMARANG, Central Java: A senior librarian said on Wednesday fuel price hike would surely affect operations of mobile libraries across the province. "Our budget is limited while the price of fuel has increased sharply. It will affect mobile library performance," said Titik Rahajoe, the chief of Library Office at Central Java provincial administration.

Titik said the cars would still serve public but as part to economize budget for the fuel, the office was considering to reduce the frequency the cars wander around the province. Before the fuel price hike, the library cars wander around six days a week, but after the fuel price hike, it would wander around for five days a week, said Triyono, a staffer with the provincial library office.

The library office has five cars. -- Antara
