I believe this is the first story I’ve posted that contained information on “plagues of drunken youngsters.” Sighthill Library (in Scotland) has one of four top prizes in the Scottish Executive’s Standing Up To Antisocial Behaviour scheme.
Two years ago, the library was plagued by a host of problems, including gang fights, under-age drinking and vandalism, both inside and outside the building.
The library staff were nominated for the award by the police after lifting a ban on youngsters involved in the trouble and instead urging them to use the library’s computers and other facilities.
