Library petition

A PETITION HAS been set up to reopen Leith Library describing it as a “vital service which is used by a broad spectrum of our community - from parents and children accessing books and toys to elderly people reading the newspapers to job hunters using the computers. For many, Leith Library is a lifeline.

“While we understand the community needs a Covid testing centre, in areas such as Morningside and Stockbridge alternative Covid testing sites have been found and their libraries have re-opened. Why not move Leith’s testing centre to some of the empty space in Ocean Terminal?”
