Val McDermid fronting campaign to help save local libraries

When a young Val McDermid went to take out books from her local library in Kirkcaldy, she never could have dreamt that years later, she would be one of Scotland’s most celebrated authors.

She’s fronting a campaign encouraging people to love their local libraries.
