Proceeding contribution from Yvonne Fovargue (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 January 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Library Services.


Library Services

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that his view of libraries, where the librarians are actually in the library and simply giving out information and books, is rather narrow? I went to an excellent event run by local librarians for young children, where the librarians showed children books. The enthusiasm of those children and the professionalism of the library staff were unparalleled. Those children were then motivated by the visit of those librarians to go to their local libraries.
