We are deeply concerned by reports of @GlasgowCC's proposal to remove #schoollibrarians from all 30 secondary schools in the city, particularly at a time when #readingenjoyment is in such steep decline.

There's still time to do the Moray Council budget consultation on closing 7 libraries in Moray. https://t.co/5WCSciYmzV + write to local councillors - tell them what these libraries mean to you and the impact closures will have on you https://t.co/KviBmmuZqL #librariesmatter

A brilliant letter from Kirsten of CILIPS to Moray Council in response to its proposal to close 7 libraries leaving just 4. The full letter can be read here: https://t.co/6FsGyL9quE

‘If implemented, these closures would leave Moray with the poorest public library provision anywhere in Scotland…’ our open letter to Councillors: https://t.co/tHZORLUpAD

[Public Libraries News @publiclibnews]

13 out of 31 libraries to close due to “seeing lower numbers of visitors in recent years”. Well, they’re going to see even fewer soon then. https://t.co/6UVWHXUAep

Aberdeenshire Council looks set to close 13 Libraries. The decision looks final.

You may have heard that Moray Council is proposing to close 7 libraries including Lossiemouth and Keith libraries. If you are in Moray and value your library service please take time to complete their budget consultation and visit your local library!
