A consultation has been launched into plans to close 25 of Birmingham's 35 libraries. Be careful! Consultations are notoriously unreliable, designed to create answers the council wants to hear. We found this during our fight against library closures (eadt.co.uk/news/21427879.…)

Inspiring meeting in Acocks Green on Saturday. Over 70 people determined to fight proposed library closures/cuts. #saveourlibraries

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY! 5 years ago today during our successful campaign to save libraries in Essex, children from schools in Galleywood hugged their library. The children were determined to SAVE OUR LIBRARIES! Children understand the value of libraries.

We share the disappointment: with so many councils now facing financial crisis, libraries are acutely vulnerable to cuts and closures, despite being a statutory service. The future of our library network is increasingly uncertain, and this budget has done nothing to address that

CILIP says the budget announced today 'constitutes a material threat to the nation’s life-changing libraries' and the Government needs to change its mind 'before it is too late' cilip.org.uk/news/news.asp?…

Thanks to Kirsten MacQuarrie for wise words.
Please share. #SaveOurLibraries

7 years ago, I told the #Libraries Taskforce that public libraries were in a burning building (Local Government) and that we could either get them out into a National Library Service or see what we had left when the fire had burnt itself out. Nobody listened then, will they now?
