Wrong priorities. Same thing here in New England, USA. The state college I graduated from long ago has fired their librarians, closed their library, and replaced it with some truncated online "library." Why anyone would pay to attend our state college system today is beyond me. I wouldn't be surprised if our US libraries unaffiliated with the educational community are suffering the same fate as those across the pond.

Endless billions for Israel and Ukraine mean nothing for people at home.
So sad for the people, since humans can't evolve or cope at all without information and without art.

What is funded does show priorities, doesn't it?
I believe none other than Joe Biden said something to the effect that rhetoric is meaningless but that funding shows your true priorities.
