Two Famous Authors have slammed a decision to close “essential” public libraries in the UK.
Bestselling writers Terry Pratchett and Sir John Mortimer say libraries are an important part of community life and have called for them to be saved from closure.
Eight libraries, including Micklefield, West Wycombe and Little Chalfont, have been earmarked for closure.
Ah, but will they help?
It is always wonderful to see comments like these, especially since so many of Prachett’s books are in paperback and easily bought, but I do have to wonder if either have made any attempt to say, donate 1/2 the proceeds of their his book to ensure that the libraries stay open.
