NINE Libraries across Dorset are to be axed.
County Councillors agreed by just one vote–21 to 20– to press ahead with plans to keep 25 libraries open but hand over nine to the community to run.
Libraries in Chickerell, Underhill on Portland, Puddletown, Wool, Burton Bradstock and Charmouth all face closure unless they are taken over by community groups.
