An MP has thrown his support behind a campaign to save a well-used Black Country library from the axe. Dudley Wood Library is to close its doors along with four others in the borough under plans put forward by council chiefs. An MP has thrown his support behind a campaign to save a well-used Black Country library from the axe. Dudley Wood Library is to close its doors along with four others in the borough under plans put forward by council chiefs. Dudley Council has backed the proposals to close Woodside, Dudley Wood, Quarry Bank, Amblecote and Wall Heath libraries, claiming the cash saved would be used for a £2.3 million scheme to update services, including remodelling of the Wordsley Green Library. Members said it would also allow investment in a new library at Brierley Hill. But devastated book borrowers from Dudley Wood have vowed to fight to the end in a bid to keep the library's doors open. More than 700 people have already joined forces to sign their names to a petition and they have now drafted in MP Ian Pearson to back their campaign. Read the full story in the Express & Star.
