West Yorkshire: Help sought to save theatrical library (UK)

Organisations are being urged to come up with ideas to save a music and drama library used by amateur theatre groups across Yorkshire. The Yorkshire and Libraries Information Council decided in September that the Wakefield-based library - a collection of play scripts, vocal scores and orchestral sets supported by 12 local authorities including Leeds - was no longer financially viable and should close "as it currently exists." A review team has been examining options for the collection's future and now the YLI is inviting groups to come up with suggestions by November 30 to ensure it remains available to the public
