PROPOSED CLOSURE OF LIBRARIES IN FIFE

That this House deplores the decision of Fife Council to close 16 libraries across Fife; regrets that this decision will lead to job losses; believes that libraries provide an invaluable resource to people of all ages who rely on their local library for a wide range of different services; notes that libraries sit at the heart of communities, providing space and facilities often not available close by; considers the particular impact that this will have on those with mobility issues; and calls on Fife Council to reconsider its decision.
