Mae’n gyfnod ariannol anodd i awdurdodau lleol ac rwy'n cydnabod y pwysau dwys sydd ar gynghorau wrth wneud penderfyniadau anodd. Mae fy swyddogion yn cydweithio'n agos â Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru i fagu gwell dealltwriaeth er mwyn  targedu cymorth yn well. Mewn amgylchiadau o’r fath, mae'n bwysicach fyth i roi arweinyddiaeth i gryfhau ein gallu i gynnal a datblygu gwasanaethau llyfrgell effeithiol.
These are difficult financial times for local authorities and I acknowledge the intense pressure under which councils are making difficult decisions. My officials are working closely with the Welsh Local Government Association to better understand where we can target support. However in such circumstances it is even more important to provide leadership to strengthen our ability to maintain and develop effective library services.
