February 5 has been designated as ‘Save Our Libraries Day’, in an effort to bring greater attention to the crisis facing many public libraries.

Many local authorities are slashing funding to libraries in the wake of government funding cuts. Warwickshire County Council, for example, has just announced plans to close almost half of that county’s 34 libraries.

If you can spare the time this Saturday, call in to your own local library and show that they have your support. More information on these sites:
