THANK you for your excellent attention to all the campaigns for North Yorkshire libraries.

The signatures collected for the ongoing “Save North Yorkshire Libraries” campaign will be handed to North Yorkshire County Council on Thursday, February 5, in time for the consultation, which closes on Sunday, February 8.

I am sure your readers would like to learn, through your columns, the views on libraries of the local candidates for the elections as our local Member of Parliament. Where do they stand and what have they done to “speak up” for (properly-funded and staffed) public libraries?

John Dean, Save North Yorkshire Libraries Campaign, Beadlam
