It’s not just about investing in libraries it’s also about understanding their role & impact.
There’s a lack of proper consultation, vision, strategy & policy.

How to undermine and erode a statutory public service;
Scrap standards.
Hand developmental remit to Arts body.
Over-diversify.
Commercialise and Privatise.
Cut budgets/staff.
“Anyone can run a library”
Continuously publish reports but do nothing.

LeVar Burton was honored this week with the National Humanities Medal for his acting and literacy advocacy work in a ceremony at the White House. "My ancestors are dancing and my heart is full," the "Reading Rainbow" host wrote after the event. https://t.co/dJgBMnJ7t2

“It is implied by the 1964 Act that library authorities will fulfil their duties properly, will provide suitable buildings that can accurately be called libraries, and will employ sufficient trained, experienced, paid staff, not relying unduly on volunteers.” Francis Bennion

We repeat. Nowhere is safe in Gaza.

Children need a ceasefire NOW.

There is no safe place for children in Gaza.

This shameful violence against children must end now.

Yesterday morning I got asked the real serious question of this election -

Is the UK full?

[CILIP @CILIPinfo]

Ahead of the polling stations opening tomorrow, let's remind parliamentary candidates just how #LibrariesChangeLives in sometimes small, but always significant ways. "Part of the magic of a library... is its capaciousness as social infrastructure." https://t.co/4Lj6qcnqoN 1/3

Here are YOUR PUBLIC SERVICES that 5 Prime Ministers have stolen in the past 14 years

Well, that's the week ruined.

[Alan Wylie @wylie_alan]

Hi @Don_WilliamsHH just for information re library cuts.
Since 2010 in the UK;
800+ libraries closed.
700+ offloaded to volunteers.
12,000 library jobs cut.
Huge cuts to budgets, stock & opening hrs.
All under Tory rule 🤷‍♀️

[Don't forget what they did! @DontForgetWTD]

Don't forget... Library funding has been cut by 44% since 2010. A third of all libraries closed in the UK as a result. Cuts ongoing. https://t.co/AX3kxvvTtc

Calls for volunteers to be able to run Nottingham libraries amid closure plan

A volunteer run ‘library’ is a closed library 😞

[Friends of Kings Heath Library @FriendsOfKHLib]

We are holding a read-in at Kings Heath Library on Saturday 23 March from 2 to 4pm to protest the council's proposals to close over 2/3 of our community libraries and reduce staffing levels. Come along, read a book and show solidarity!

"Libraries are an important representation of what cuts can do to a community – when it’s gone, people really feel it. And it will be those from socioeconomically deprived backgrounds who will be hit hardest." Resident Shuranjeet Singh on Birmingham cuts https://t.co/1qPcIfR5DR
