ABOUT LIBRARIES & LANES

On Saturday morning I went to join the crowd of SAVE OUR LIBRARIES protestors outside BILTON LIBRARY, my nearest North Yorkshire library on the axe list.

Here for your information are some others. They are nearly all village libraries and some are at least ten miles from any town, and with bus services both expensive for a family outing, and due for cropping anyway.

So NO LIBRARY for AYTON,BARLBY, BEDALE, BOROUGHBRIDGE, COLBURN, EASINGWOLD, EMBSAY, HUNMANBY. INGLETON, KIRKBYMOORSIDE, LEYBURN, MASHAM, NORTON, PATELY BRIDGE, STARBECK & TADCASTER - and I don't think I even have all the names.

Of course, some places will get the super-mobile library visiting them, but only as long as there are no narrow roads on the way. Now who could imagine you'd fine narrow roads in the Yorkshire Dales & Moors.
