Michael Morpurgo backs 10 year old's library campaign

One of the world's most successful authors is backing a ten-year-old's campaign to protect dozens of libraries across Cornwall.

War Horse author Michael Morpurgo is backing Leon Remphry's campaign. The 10 year old has made a video to promote his campaign 'right to read'. Leon needs 5,000 signatures on his petition to get a County Council debate. He currently has 4,500.

It comes as council cuts across our region leave the future of hundreds of libraries in doubt, with some facing closure and others having to reduce their opening hours.
