Library closures in Scotland
Moray council seem to keep changing their minds about whether or not to close these libraries. Their argument seems to be if they are only open a few hours a week it is a waste of money to keep the buildings.
Does it not occur to them to open the libraries longer?
SCILIP seems to thrive and hand out prizes and awards-- for what - closed libraries?

What kind of country is the UK becoming. Libraries are a sign of a civilised society. Of course, perhaps we no longer wish to be a civilised society. I do not think this is true of the average person, whatever politicians may think.
I believe that a Public Library Service is a RIGHT, NOT an aption to be discarded on a political whim.
The idea of closures is disgusting!
