"The Library friends had been having fun making cloth and paper bunting, paper balloons, and posters beforehand. "Councillor Jess Bailey, who had played such an important role in the outcome, came to join the celebration, praising Ottery for the great protest we put up. It gives me great pleasure to write once more about the support that the Ottery community has always given, and still does, to our library. If you want to become part of that hard-working community of volunteers, get in touch with Kerry at Ottery Library, telephone: 01404 813838 or with Marilyn Spidell, Secretary, Ottery Library Friends. Every effort, no matter how big or small, plays an important part in keeping these vital institutions thriving for everyone.
