I’d cut benefits, but we must treasure libraries says Lionel Shriver – EADT “OK, I want to see government pared back – bloody hell: 53% of the economy?!

Michael Morpurgo answers your questions – Guardian “I am horrified by the proposals to close libraries. Libraries are central to a civilised world and for the future of our society and our children. We all know that reading can transform people and change lives, and libraries play a vital role, especially for those children who don’t have books at home. And for old people too libraries are so important.”
