"Libraries are a service and should be the last to be cut. Dorset County Council have plenty of other areas where they can cut costs which will not affect services."

"I do not think Rural Libraries should close. Savings should be made elsewhere in the budget."

"the closure of any rural library will rip the heart out of the community. when will people come first ?"

"Life without books will be like life without water."

"Outrageous step to deprive rural areas of this vital facility"

"We need Libraries much more than we need a Call Centre"

"DON'T Close the Libraries!"

"The government are trying to make more children read and write properly, how can they possibly do this without librarys?"

"В"

"The Library Service is a Service and as such should not be expected to pay it's way, it should be supported."

"I support this petition"

"Keep Colehill Library OPEN!"

"How can the council even CONSIDER this action?"

"We need our libraries!"

"These libraries are a vital service to the local community. To close them would be active discrimination especially against the young people, elderly and others who rely on having these invaluable leisure and educational facilities nearby, within walking "

"Our Council Tax goes up every year while our facilities get cut! Abolish 13 libraries to save 847K and then spend 5M to set up a call centre? Where's the common sense?"

"Libraries are essential community facilities and as it is Dorset County Council spends less on the Library Service than it does on school transport, i.e. about 7.2 million out of a budget of hundreds of million!"
