Great news @MyNottingham @NottmLibraries received £185,900 from the Arts Council Capital Investment Programme today so when will @ng_labour announce that closures and cuts are off the table and they've listened to our demand of #SaveOurLibraries ? Anyone? https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/developing-creativity-and-culture/capital

Pensioners relying on the library to keep warm will have difficulties in Barnet, thanks to the defeated Tories and their vicious cuts, & installation of unstaffed opening. I hope @barnetlabour will open up libraries & run similar support schemes: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/may/08/downham-market-library-norfolk-residents-fuel-poverty-older-vulnerable-money?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
