THE GUARDIAN :
Local reporter without an office to use a library
At least, the Herald can be assured that the Milngavie library is not under any threat of closure, unlike many across the UK including several in Scotland (see here and here). It suddenly struck me that there must be towns and boroughs where there is no longer either a newspaper office or a library.
