Fahrenheit 451
In St Albans, the city where I live, there is a proposal to shut 2 of the 4 libraries.
I tried to imagine a world without libraries, my childhood without libraries. I'm not sure I think much of a society which dosen't value libraries. I don't know what the problem is but shutting branch libraries is not the answer. Everyone should have access to the learning and entertainment facilities of a local library, and it is especially needed by those who are less likely to find it easy to travel into St Albans city centre: children, mothers with young children, people with disabilities and pensioners. I strongly oppose the proposed closure of Fleetville and Cunningham Libraries because I believe it will be an irreplaceable loss to the local communities.
I'm going to write to my MP about it... and anyone else I can think of.
