OXFORDSHIRE County Council leader Keith Mitchell is unwise in his dig that authors opposing the closure of libraries are not declaring their vested interest.
Authors would be far better off financially if the public could only buy their books rather than borrow a well-thumbed copy from a library.
If Mr Mitchell believes his council is right in these closures he should make his point properly during debates at County Hall.
At other times he should envisage himself in a library — and not talk.
