Do you use your library? My discussion on BBC about how libraries provide value for money and also environmental benefits due to books being used again and again.
As former @CILIPinfo libraries champion & current @readingagency charity ambassador, I will always use my voice to speak up for libraries.

Libraries must be protected as places of learning and reading and as spaces "where you go to learn to behave, where you learn to show respect to other people, to listen, and to learn that you are important because this is for you" - @frankcottrell_b bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2n…
