Determined campaigners have vowed to fight on following the closure of West Mill Street Library.
The doors may have closed on Friday but the battle has just begun.
Chairwoman of the Friends of the West Mill Street Library group, Irene Hamilton, told The Courier she was not prepared to back down.
She has hit out at Perth and Kinross Council for ignoring the needs of elderly and vulnerable people who relied on the facility.
“It’s terrible to think that people were left in tears over this,” she said. “Some people have signed up for the new services that will be offered, particularly the housebound book delivery system, but in some ways their options have been cut down.
“They feel they can’t go to the AK Bell Library or the North Inch Community Campus and there are now going to be more people sitting at home in isolation. We were giving them a reason to get up in the morning.”
Mrs Hamilton has lodged a complaint about the library and cultural services review process which resulted in the loss of West Mill Street Library.
A hearing is due to take place later this month and she is determined to get an apology from the council.
She added: “I would like them to reconsider their decision, like they reconsidered City Hall.
“I want them to put their hands up and admit they underestimated the value of the service provision here.”
A letter has also been sent to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, calling for support.
In addition, Mrs Hamilton has indicated that the Friends group would be willing to raise funds to allow a judicial review to be carried out.
A spokesperson from Perth and Kinross Council said: “The council’s review of the library service was based on a thorough review of evidence and data about how, where and when customers used services.
“The accessible services currently available at West Mill Street will not cease they are being relocated to the AK Bell Library and North Inch Community Campus, where the council can provide a greater range of accessible services and other services.”
