Title: Lincolnshire Library Closures
Post by: goat major on 29 July 2013, 09:30:03 PM
I hope no one minds me posting this here. Lincolnshire County Council is planning to close 32 out of its 47 public libraries - meaning that just about every rural library will be lost or turned over to a volunteer-only service.

I personally discovered wargaming through my local library. The thought of these services disappearing is simply too dreadful to contemplate.

If anyone would like to sign the petition against these closures then I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Simon

Done!

Can't stand it when they do stuff like that. Everyone is always nagging that kids these days only play games on their computers, but they slowly take away all other options themselves!!

I'll certainly miss 'my' library van, if that gets affected by the cuts.

THey have not closed our libraries, but have reduced the amount of books by about 50%. so all they seem  to have is pilp fiction and travel guides
