But will the Chancellor commit to the funding that ensures each of these libraries are staffed? A library without a librarian is like a torch without a battery. Plus a good book stock is essential. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

My observation is that, for years, public libraries used money for print books to buy digital books instead - and that has brought the demise of their main compliant supply chain for print. It leaves Ingram to pick up the big pieces, rather as Gardner's did in the UK.

Strange how public libraries are largely ignored in this invaluable campaign. Free books, quiet places to read, staff offering advice = public libraries. Give everyone a library ticket!

Save public libraries and #GetBritainReading We could start here, in #Brighton #Hove where three libraries are threatened. Or has everyone given up on public libraries? The children pictured here haven’t. brightonandhovenews.org/2025/10/09/fam…

Yes - join your library. Guess what? It’s free! "Reading is good for you. Various studies have found that picking up a book can help you live longer, reduce depression, improve your relationships, increase empathy levels, stave off dementia…” independent.co.uk/life-style/lib…
