Plan to keep Suffolk libraries open

Suffolk County Council has announced plans for a new Industrial and Provident Society to keep open its 44 public libraries. The organisation, if approved by the council at a meeting next week, would hold charitable status, and would be independent of the council.

The plans are outlined at www.suffolk.gov.uk/News/PlansToKeepSuffolkLibrariesOpenRevealed.htm
