Scotland the dumb
The library figures for 2005-6 will be released early in the new year, so I have been looking back through some past years.
I noticed that in 1997, before the Scottish Parliament was invented, there were 33 public libraries in Scotland open more than 60 hours per week (In england and wales there were only 6). By 2004 the number in Scotland had fallen to 4.
Where is Elaine Fulton? Ho Ho; at the Christmas lunch for SCILIP I'm sure.
