I have used a Library since the young age of 5, when my family were not in a position to buy books. What a wonderful places my Library was to me growing up. To this time in my life a Library have always been a welcoming places to find comfort in a book. You are never a lone with a book to read, to discover wonderful new characters, lands, hobbies, music, recipes, events, and most of all to keep learning. To keep ones mind active, one's well being. The only true value we receive for being a Rate payer, is a Library big or small it serves the Communities well.
Roz supported: Keep the libraries in Caerphilly County open!Libraries are a vital resource in the community for all ages. From toddlers learning how to socialize with others, students researching things for homework, adults using computers to search for jobs, seniors connecting with others in groups that meet on a regular basis. As well as being a safe space for all ages it is also vital for people who use the online services from home. Please do not throw away this valuable community resource.
antonia supported: Save Saltcoats and Ardrossan Libraries from Budget CutsLibraries are invaluable resources to every generation. Apart from learning resources the libraries provide vital socialisation opportunities for new mums, babies, children, those with disabilities and the elderly to mention just a few. They along with churches are the very heart of our communities.

Sheena supported: Save Saltcoats and Ardrossan Libraries from Budget CutsThe library is critical to a community and gives people somewhere to go that is safe and welcoming.
Patricia supported: Save Saltcoats and Ardrossan Libraries from Budget CutsAnyone who loves watching movies, listening to music, reading, playing games, or really doing anything that requires an artist/writer should care about this (imo). ESPECIALLY if they're a fan who loves consistency, care, and hardwork in the media they consume. That being said, I'm not a big artist/writer, I'm just starting out in my creative career but, it's a dream I've carried with me since I was a kid inspite of every person telling me "that's not a real job", or "that'll never make a living". I'd really like a chance to actually get to be a successful creator and prove them wrong. I'd like other creatives to find this success too. Especially knowing companies who don't need to save money sitting on top of millions or even billions have saved THOUSANDS stealing from creatives. That's a lot of unfed bellies, unpaid bills, and unnecessary hardship.
Ashe supported: Protect authors’ livelihoods from the unlicensed use of their work in AI trainingI have fought through over a decade of abysmal health, barely surviving on numerous occasions. Eventually, I was finally able to write - to realise my dream of becoming a published author. I now have two books out and more to come. It is hard work, it is poorly remunerated, but it is what I love. It is NOT okay to then have copyright laws, that exist in order to protect us and our work, ignored and our work stolen. This is a criminal act. It flies in the face of everything we work for. The law is clear and is reiterated for clarification at the front of every book we have written. I did not beat death and work this hard, for Meta to come along and take what they have no right to, and to not ask permission, much less pay for it. It is despicable that our rights and the law is not being heavily enforced. Meta owes us all a public apology, our work back, and remuneration for what they have already stolen. Greed and entitlement...
