I AM in full agreement with Ray Morse that it would only cost me and everyone else in Swindon 12p to keep Old Town Library open.
I would however like to point out that it would cost absolutely nothing to keep it open if the Friends of Old Town Library were to provide volunteers from their ranks to man it for a few hours.
If volunteers can be found to do just that in Walcot why is it so difficult to do the same in Old Town. Ray Morse describes Old Town Library as “a priceless asset”. Is it not therefore worth a few hours of voluntary work to preserve it?
It is worth remembering that these harsh economic times will pass but if the library closes it will not be there for the future.
