Any clues on what is happening with libraries? Check out @PeterBazalgette's Tweet: https://twitter.com/PeterBazalgette/status/344422386008997889 He seems up for the change and there seems to be a void. My local library is getting an 'uplift' and it would be great if it was not completely windows.
Libraries are a local authority run, so will vary a lot across the country. Each local authority will take its own look at the recommendations from central government and then do their own thing.
That said, local councillors are usually easier to approach than MPs and have a more direct level of influence on what the council does than MPs have over central government. So it is well worth lobbying your local councillor. You ought to be able to find out who they are and how to contact them on your local council's website. NB depending on where you live there may be more than one tier of local government, and you need to lobby the one that has control of the library to have any hope of a positive impact.
