    I won't tweet about it anymore because I think a lot of people have seen it by now... CEO of the Arts Council RT'd it, that's good.

    How long does it take to read a tweet - 3 seconds, maybe? That's over 25 library visits right there, just while you read this!

    The real story here is despite the Tories' best efforts to reduce library use, they're still used more than pretty much ANYTHING in the UK.

    31,000 visits to public libraries an hour, for every hour of the year - how does that not blow people's minds?

    It makes an argument in favour of closing them, and after all the more you close the lower the use gets. But it only dropped 2% last year.
