The BBC has reportrd three Somerset libraries set to stay open. The article says:-
Three out of six libraries due to lose funding from Somerset County Council in three months are set to stay open.
Six libraries in the county will have their funding stopped from 1 October and another five will have their funding stopped from next April.
Volunteers have stepped in to pay for and run libraries in Bishops Lydeard, Bruton and Porlock.
The Conservative-led council aims to save 25%, or £1.35m of the library budget.
I'm not really one for the volunteers in libraries thing. I thing it won't work as there is little financial. intellectual or social pay back for the volunteers. Also, they won't have the skillset for users on copyright issues etc. oh well.
