“A school library without a librarian is really just a room of books.” Parents in Glasgow are worried about the education of future generations as the city council proposes a job cut to high school librarians. Earlier this month it was reported that 30 secondary schools across the city could see the role axed in order to save £100,000. Joy McLean’s daughter goes to Hillhead High School where the position recently became vacant.
