Library campaign success!

Thank you to EVERYONE for all your support and hard work. 

Birnam library will remain open with services at least at current levels for the next two years.

On Wednesday 26 February Perth and Kinross Council (PKC) voted to provide a further £1 million to the charity designated with running rural libraries, Culture Perth and Kinross (CPK) to maintain museum and library services, including the current rural library services for the next two years.

In announcing the proposals, the leader of the council, Cllr Grant Laing said that he wants Perth and Kinross officers and CPK to work with communities, and the Save Our Rural Libraries (SORL) campaigners to look at the future of libraries.

Save Birnam Library and SORL are delighted with the news that our libraries will remain open, and grateful to have support and commitment from PKC for libraries. Since the announcement, SORL has approached PKC and CPK to start the conversation about next steps and how we as communities work together with them to ensure our libraries are equipped for the future.
