> In Mainz the politicians have decided to cut back funding for the
> public libraries. The "Wissenschaftliche Stadtbibliothek" is on the
> verge of being closed down. This may seem like a regional problem at

> printed the B42 considers it acceptable to disown its book-related
> heritage and close down its libraries, then any city in Germany might
> argue that its library infrastructure is superfluous.

> people from all over the world sign the petition would be a signal to
> the city of Mainz that this is an unacceptable decision. This is the
