Songs

• Don’t Close Our Libraries by One Man and His Beard.
• We love libraries by Sly and Reggie.
• Welcome to Austerity by Doyle and the Fourfathers.

• Boasting six inch characters dancing on books and the line “having fun is never hard if you have a library card is Shhhh (a song about libraries) by Sky Rocket Jack.
• An absolutely brilliant and hilarious song about a novel way to save libraries but hardly for the easily offended – Do it in the Library by Jonny and the Baptists.

• A very specific one about the competence or otherwise of Ed Vaizey when it comes to libraries is What’s wrong with Ed Vaizey? by John Dougherty.
