To: Nichola Sturgeon First Minister of Scotland
Save Aberdeen City Libraries and Employees
Aberdeen has a cultural and community under threat - we would like the Scottish Government to link up with active campaigners in the City and Aberdeenshire to enable a rescue of the libraries so that the Public Services can continue rather than be shut down.
Why is this important?
The city has lost far too much of it's cultural and community value. The removal of libraries will destroy any positive future for the population
Reading, Writing and Digital skills of already isolated communities will be irrevocably damaged.
Libraries - a listening ear, a friendly face, internet cafe, reading room, family history research centre, children's storytelling circle, home of Bookbug, emergency source when uni library books are out, reference desk, exhibition space, reminiscence centre, quiet place, fun place, USED BY THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY! LEAVE THEM BE!

We are driving this campaign to deliver real results & have set up a just giving campaign which can be found on our Facebook Page and Linked In pages.
