lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this year marks the 100th anniversary of the UK Carnegie Trust, which is based in Dunfermline in Scotland. Dunfermline was the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie, and it was there that the first Carnegie library was founded. Carnegie described libraries as ‘a cradle of democracy’. He believed that by empowering people through giving them free access to knowledge, he could transform lives, just as his life was transformed by having free access to a library in his youth. Carnegie’s legacy can be found across the globe. If we want to future-proof libraries today, we have to take action across the European Union to ensure that libraries are not left behind in the new digital world in which we exist. That is why I have launched my campaign for open knowledge to ensure improved and fair access to e-books in public libraries. In Scotland, West Dunbartonshire Council is leading the way on the service it is providing not just in the UK, but across the EU. Dumbarton library is itself a Carnegie library. Please support open knowledge for fair and improved access to e-books in our public libraries."@en1
