Library Campaigners Meet DCMS Officials Today

As we mentioned last week, three campaigners from the Friends of Isle of Wight Libraries, are on their way to London today.

libraryThe three have been invited to meet with officials from the Department for Culture Media & Sport in Whitehall to discuss the council’s plans to close several libraries on the Island.

“Ammunition locker full”
From the coach heading to London, they told VB that they are “weighed down with files with the ammunition locker full, and are very confident about the meeting”.

They’ll be handing in letters and email of support from Islanders (which they thank you all for) and will be pointing to the DCMS to the hundreds of comments on VB about the council’s plans.

We’ll update you later today, once the campaigners are on their way back from the meeting.
