Library cuts 'would make Britain more illiterate'
Leading children's author Julia Donaldson - whose books include The Gruffalo - spoke out in support of Saturday's Day Of Action to campaign against the closure of public libraries throughout Britain.
Donaldson, 62, who protested outside the Scottish parliament on Saturday, has warned that library closures would lead to a more "illiterate population".
