It’s essential to keep the library and the staff to keep it going. How can we make progress with knowledge?

The library is more than just books. Without it, and skilled staff to run it, NRW will lose access to the information and records essential to sustainably managing the natural resources of Wales.

The NRW library is probably the best collection reflective of the environmental history of Wales and the work of a generation of environmentalists. I do hope a safe home can be found.

Or ensure that it is properly maintained in the University for public benefit, not sold off for a token or sent to landfill.

The people running NRW should take a large wage cut before shutting down such a valuable resource. Very short sighted, always other people who suffer not the people running organisations.

We seem to be going back to the Dark Ages - closing a library of such huge importance is utterly crazy.

NRW really do need a library to be ‘evidence-based’, and even more than that they need knowledgeable and helpful library staff to support people finding papers and books.
