thanks, didnt know, will try to drop in

Rosenotinyorkshire · 05/02/2011 09:46

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

LadyOfTheManor · 05/02/2011 10:10

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

AliceWorld · 05/02/2011 10:28

YANBU I'm off down there now.

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

Vilt · 05/02/2011 10:29

It will show that people still use and want them.

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

wildfig · 05/02/2011 10:31

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!

LadyOfTheManor · 05/02/2011 10:32

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

WildistheWind · 05/02/2011 10:42

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

Chil1234 · 05/02/2011 10:53

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?

GabySolis · 05/02/2011 11:36

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!

AliceWorld · 05/02/2011 11:53

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.

ilythia · 05/02/2011 12:00

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
