Greens challenge threat to local libraries

Andy Collins Sun 23 Aug, 2015

Sixteen libraries across Fife face closure as Fife Council seeks to balance its books in the face of a £77 million budget deficit.

The closures have been recommended by Fife Cultural Trust, which manages libraries in Fife on behalf of the Council, as it attempts to find £813,000 of savings in addition to the £906,000 of cuts it has already delivered.
