The Galloway News : 30th May
Stewartry library jobs to go in council shake-up
Up to 50 jobs could go in council frontline services including libraries across the Stewartry. …. The plan is to bring as many services as possible under the same roof and that could mean libraries being moved.

“We are horrified that the council can find more than £10m to build a new library when for a tiny fraction of that they can keep open three beautiful libraries in some of the most deprived parts of Nottingham.” https://westbridgfordwire.com/campaigners-say-threatened-community-libraries-should-be-funded-ahead-of-central-library/

Even if the Arts Council and other bodies are allowed to remain, they will still be ordered to find additional savings of 5% pa within 1-3 years. The Arts sector contributes £10.47 billion to the UK economy pa. £492 million represents a tiny 4.70% investment in the sector.

#Libraries matter. We have an obligation to support #Libraries; to use #Libraries, to encourage others to use #Library too. We have an obligation to protest Library Closure, Library underfunding and demand government & other non-state actors fund new Library centres and frontiers

@Miriam_E_Rice In Ealing it’s time to stop relying on volunteers to staff our libraries and bring back paid workers. If Mason & co can increase their allowances it’s time to pay library workers. Stop exploiting volunteers.
