Stop the loss of our libraries
We appreciate that the cost of services provided by the council need to be relevant to the community. But local libraries are essential for many groups of people. Those on benefits and the elderly will suffer most. Most not use kindles and a great many will have eyesight problems. They need to be able to borrow books, audio books and large print books and should not have to travel miles to do so. Families with children who can't afford computers need the libraries. Children need to use the computers for their homework. They can't do this if their local library is closed. We urge you to keep these libraries open. Recruit volunteers to run them if need be. Even have them open at weekends and after school onlyonly but keep them open.
