“We are horrified that the council can find more than £10m to build a new library when for a tiny fraction of that they can keep open three beautiful libraries in some of the most deprived parts of Nottingham.” https://westbridgfordwire.com/campaigners-say-threatened-community-libraries-should-be-funded-ahead-of-central-library/

Even if the Arts Council and other bodies are allowed to remain, they will still be ordered to find additional savings of 5% pa within 1-3 years. The Arts sector contributes £10.47 billion to the UK economy pa. £492 million represents a tiny 4.70% investment in the sector.

#Libraries matter. We have an obligation to support #Libraries; to use #Libraries, to encourage others to use #Library too. We have an obligation to protest Library Closure, Library underfunding and demand government & other non-state actors fund new Library centres and frontiers

@Miriam_E_Rice In Ealing it’s time to stop relying on volunteers to staff our libraries and bring back paid workers. If Mason & co can increase their allowances it’s time to pay library workers. Stop exploiting volunteers.
