Shropshire Council says it is "moving with the times" by adopting a more relaxed approach, with claims that local authority chiefs were even considering allowing picnics in a bid to attract younger people.
More than 200 readers responded to a Shropshire Star online poll yesterday, with 61 per cent opposing a relaxing of rules and 39 per cent voting in favour.
Liam Stewart, 31, from Swan Lane in Oswestry, said he used the town library a couple of a times a week to look for a job.
