Let CILIP know of cuts in your library service
235 libraries plus 16 mobiles currently under threat
CILIP will challenge library cuts if you let them know about them and if there are legal grounds. The list of library services below the News has been amended so that it shows cuts in terms of job cuts/bookfund/etc as well as library closures.
