{UAH} Closing libraries means abandoning society’s most isolated and vulnerable | Dawn Finch

I am a book lover and a member of over 50 public libraries in the UK, and have been to some of the top world libraries here in the UK and in Ireland, Philippines, Italy, France, China, and Russia, and a few in Nigeria, Ghana and other African countries..I have spent some of the saddest and the happiest hours of my life in a public library. I spend more of my spare time in libraries than I spend at home. The first place I look for when i arrive in a new country- even for just one week- is for the public library. I cannot say I have been to a country unless I have visited their public library. It will be a sad day when books and libraries are completely replaced by digital technology. Life will never be the same again.
