Libraries helped shape me into the writer I am today
Hull-born crime writer Penny Grubb credits the time she spent at local libraries as a child for her thirst for words.
Now under-resourced and often under threat of closure, she said it would mean fewer children grow up with a curious nature.

"I think it's terrible what's happening to libraries. They're so important, so children can grow up not just with a love of books but with a love of knowledge," Penny said.
"I think it's short-sighted to close them. If you haven't got a well-informed population, nothing is going to go forward."

“Who in their right senses don't agree with your sentiments, but if given a choice of a social care home, an old people's home, or asking the users of thE library to travel to another library tHat is remaining open, it's no contest.
Ar e you really suggesting that having to travel to another facility, is too high a price to pay for knowledge. If so, shame on you”
