Author Jeanette Winterson has called for societies to value libraries, and said that the unpaid back tax from Google, Amazon and Starbucks would pay the annual cost of the service twice over.
Delivering the inaugural Reading Agency Lecture at the British Library yesterday evening (19th November) to mark the charity's 10th anniversary, Winterson also argued that libraries should be taken out of local council leisure budgets and put into the national education budget.
