ePetition to save libraries

An ePetition is available at http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/1269 asking the British Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport to catch itself on on the libraries front - more specifically its states:

I, the undersigned, believe that libraries are an essential local educational and information resource yet with many libraries under threat, the future of the library service is at risk. I want to see the value of libraries recognised at both local and national levels and I am calling on the Government to honour both its commitment to act as a champion of the library service, and its duty of oversight to ensure that a comprehensive and efficient library service is provided.

Absolutely - please sign up! (100,000 signatures needed to trigger a possible Parliamentary debate)
