Tauranga City's libraries will be getting an extra 5400 books next year.
In the draft Long Term Plan, Tauranga City Council had decided to freeze the annual library stock budget at the current $798,000 per year.
"Driving book stock into the ground like in this recommendation will not work. We'll find ourselves in 2016/17/18 making substantial investment into book stock."
The Mayor's amendment was passed with a seven to four vote.
