From Theresa Breslin Attached is the Protest Statement to be handed into the Scottish Parliament on Saturday 5th Feb at 11a.m. Please let me know if you want your name added to the 'Protesters list' at the end of the statement. Please let me know if you want your name added to the 'PRESENT ON THE DAY and available for interview list' at the end of the statement and if so please send me a very short one sentence biog. Please let me know if you'll be there on the day but would rather not be interviewed. For those attending - please bring along your favourite book ( if it's one you've written it that's fine) The idea would be to read out the Protest Statement, then a few people say what libraries meant to them, some readings, and then hand in the Protest Statement. The whole thing should last approx 30mins. Please note that anyone can be there and it would be really great to have children and loads of librarians, teachers, library users, members of the public etc etc . It's the writers and illustrators who are organising the protest, but really anyone is welcome to take part and send me their name to be put on - and it would be great to have a biog from a young kid e.g." I am Sam aged 6 The mobile library came down my street and now it doesn't so I don't get books to read" etc . I'd like to ask everyone who receives this email to forward it on and use whatever means possible to publicise it. Best wishes Theresa Breslin
