Options for the way forward are being explored, and a series of community meetings are to be held.

To do this with no public consultation is wrong. The Council has a legal duty to provide libraries that meet local needs and such significant changes to provision will damage the communities who rely on them, and they should have been engaged with.
Plan to close 13 Aberdeenshire libraries announced

When @UKLabour appoint a new Libraries Minister I’ll do again what I’ve been doing for the last 14yrs, I’ll ask for a meeting then offer to work with them to adopt a national policy supporting Public Libraries & Library Workers. I’ll never give up. ✊️ #libraries
