very short sighted to do this in Scotland's book capital, especially with the 2 big book festivals etc. & lots of exhibitions & things often on in the library.

Libraries are a vital service and even more important in times of difficulties in society. Free books are the lifeblood of a free country.

Scotland's book town must not do this.

MP's cannot complain about educational standards if basic library services are not promoted.

This is a well used resource and matters to locals and visitors alike. Please reconsider.

As a local business owner and parent I am very saddened to think the council would even consider this cost cutting measure. The County Buildings has 49000 visitors per year and the library us a focal point for locals and visitors alike.

Libraries should not be closed OR have their opening hours reduced at any codt. They are vital to all communities

I realise that this matter is not finalised and will be discussed by the Council but it would be perverse in my mind if a decision was made to restrict hours of a library in Scotland's Book Town.

Scotland's book town without a library? That would be very odd!

How can it be right to have the library in Scotland's BOOK Town open on only a very part time basis? Sure this wouldn't even be considered if it was Dumfries rather than Wigtown!

the public libraries were created for educational purposes which still apply today, so why do councils insist on closing them these days, it's short sighted as the whole purpose is to curb illiteracy especially in the national book town, it doesn't send out a very good message, does it!
