A unique “read in” protest will take place outside Cardiff Central Library<\/a> tomorrow, National Library Day, when residents gather to object to library cuts.

\n\"\"

“A library is not just a place to take out books, it’s a place to learn. A quiet study space.”
\n\u201cI wish a councillor, who is suggesting these cuts, could see the look on my young children. On my toddler\u2019s face, when they take books out. And then take that away from them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"M4031R-4201\"

 
\nBut Rumney\u00a0councillor Bob Derbyshire<\/a>\u00a0suggests it is not that easy. He said:<\/p>\n

“If it were not the libraries it would have to be something else. We\u2019re under pressure, like other councils, to spend less. We need to spend \u00a348 million less than last year.
\n“Wherever they go there is going to pain. Would they want litter to be collected less frequently, or parks to open less frequently?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The protest begins at 12 noon tomorrow, outside the Central Library on the Hayes and will end at 2pm.
