Why the cuts are wrong - useful list of updates across the UK, including list of local protests
Thanks for listing Public Libraries News at the top, Janey. I have a great deal of hope for http://falseeconomy.org.uk/cuts/sectors/type/communities-and-local-government as another lister of cuts, in all sectors.
ReplyDeleteAlan Gibbon's blog http://alangibbons.net/ on the threats to libraries is a work of pure genius and he has some great sources (which I brutally steal, um, well, publicise). Tim Coate's blog http://www.goodlibraryguide.com/blog/ us also rather good if somewhat controversial.
Thanks for highlighting these links, Ian. Will add to my list of links.
