@SeanJMcNamara1 Easy cut ! Easy votes!! Who is suffering ? Those without !!? I am a librarian who through this kind of (restructuring) lost my public librarian’s position and I know for a fact every library I have worked in has been about the staff aswell as the books 📖 @angusalive

[Douglas Maxwell @DouglasMaxw3ll]

@SeanJMcNamara1 Well said Sean. It's beyond belief that we even need to argue the benefits of a public library.

Where to start.....

[Alan Wylie @wylie_alan]

@SeanJMcNamara1 It’s a focal point of the community, a dedicated library building with dedicated Library Workers. To say that a presence in a ‘hub’ can replace this shows a fundamental lack of understanding & respect for the service and the profession.

@SeanJMcNamara1 I still can’t get over this

[Parsley @Parsleymael]

@joshpizpom @AberdeenSNP A place with freely accessible books, that says ‘any book you like is here‘. A place that is mostly quiet and respects reading. A place that is mostly safe. A place away from some situations a person (child or adult) can retreat from.

@joshpizpom @AberdeenSNP Sign of someone who could’ve benefitted from spending more time in a library 🙄

[Stephen Morrison 👾 @HowManyMiles_]

@joshpizpom @AberdeenSNP I feel that some context must be missing as no sensible person would suggest that a library is merely a building.

[HelenAndWil @helenandwil]

@SeanJMcNamara1 @robinince It’s a building that will provide the child with the book to help them learn to read, to encourage them, engage them. It’s a building which provides a warm space, puts on fun free events, provides information, social interaction , oh I could go on.

@SeanJMcNamara1 @robinince As a kid I was autistic but didn't know it. For many early 1980s the library was the safest and most pleasant place in the world.
I loved it especially when I found out I could get peer-reviewed science papers (after a few weeks wait).
I read stuff before my biology teacher 😁

Councillor Hazel Cameron (@AberdeenSNP - Hilton/Woodside/Stockethill):

'I have taken some blows on this library situation... A building will not teach your children to read.'

[Emily @emilymunro.bsky.social @smugafgardening /IG @ellomunro]

@SeanJMcNamara1 Anyone who describes a library as "a building" does not use libraries
