Author: jake89 Date: Thu 26th Jun 2025. 22:39 P, Thu 26 Jun 18:04 Very true but children from more deprived areas are less likely to have a library card or even a local library due to cuts over the years. Anything being done to potentially improve childhood literacy should be welcomed. ETA - I didn't realise we only have two libraries left in Dunfermline now (Carnegie and Duloch). What an absolute disgrace. Abbeyview and Townhill both closed now. Wasn't there one at Baldridgeburn too? Post Edited (Thu 26 Jun 22:42) Reply |
