Things are moving – not necessarily in the right direction for libraries – in Darlington. Crown Street library is being proposed for redevelopment or use as a Community centre and although the local MP has ‘pledged’ to save the building, she has not committed to it being a library.

Meanwhile local campaigners have made a series of videos documenting Crown Street and  about the removal of the local mobile library. See more under Library Campaigns
