To tell you all it's Save the librabries day today

[ilythia]

so get your bottoms, and your DC's down to your local library and get some books.
We are off shortly.

thanks, didnt know, will try to drop in

YNBU, hurray. I love the idea of demonstrating using massive read ins!

I'm puzzled. How is "taking out books" going to save the libraries?

YANBU I'm off down there now.

Lady - it's a symbolic act. It shows people don't agree.

It will show that people still use and want them.

I was thinking of going today anyway, now I definitely will.

Taking books out will prove that libraries are a valued and valuable resource. Please go along, and if you don't already have a card, register for one!

Oh I see.
I wasn't aware my local library was closing...sorry I tend to be a bit blase about local community things

We haven't heard of ours going but still, we will go.

Are there any plans to offer sponsorships to local companies for libraries? Does it happen already? If 'money' is the problem and people like their libraries I'd have thought that was the way to go?

Right I'm off, you just reminded me I need to take my books back anyway! I love libraries, they'd better not close ours down!

I've not heard their closing mine either. I imagine they'll close them in the areas with less voice. I'm doing it for all libraries.

AFAIK none of ours are closing, but then the budhget isn't through for this year yet, so you never know. I have noticed that they are shut a lot more often when they shoudl be open though, staff cuts I assume
