You might know that Fife Council planned to close 16 libraries in April but we have now discovered that they can’t actually just make that decision. Apparently they have to take it to a ‘scrutiny committee’ (I know – who knew?! – not them obviously). So the upshot is that the libraries have been given a reprieve, I think for a year. But it looks like this will just be a delay of the closures, although we live in hope of the library at Glenwood remaining open permanently.
