Librarians are custodians to a world of information and ideas, performing an important democratic role, their supporters argue. But with 8,000 jobs in UK libraries disappearing in six years, is that status under threat?
It was an inauspicious time to join the profession. Lauren Smith completed an MA in librarianship at the University of Sheffield in 2010, the same year Chancellor George Osborne unveiled the biggest UK spending cuts for decades.
Since then, libraries have seen an influx of volunteer staff - from Doncaster to Dorset, from Gateshead to Gloucestershire - and a quarter of paid jobs have disappeared.
Dismayed by what she sees as an attack on her profession, Ms Smith has become a campaigner for Voices for the Library.

libraries are declining because books are available on internet at cheaper rate as compared to libraries.
