@Hannah__Barnes @hantsconnect Thanks for sharing, interesting idea.

It’s been an emotional day. Huge celebrations for @FriendsChineham on securing the continued opening of the Chineham Library. We are sad to see other not be successful. Please message us if we can help with any support. #savehampshirelibraries

After lots of negative political tweets this weekend lets talk about more positive aspects of Libraries. What is one of your favourite aspects of your local library? Mine has to be the frequent craft events they hold my family love this on Saturday's great way to meet friends

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

Just wanted to clarify that the decision won't be officially signed off until the council meeting on the 28th July. We do hope that the decision about Chineham won't chance but as you can see by other tweets this evening it's still in the balance.

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

Big thank you to everyone who is support us. As you know we have saved Chineham library for now! We have not stopped campaigning for the other libraries. We have the Save Hampshire Libraries Twitter and Facebook page so please do follow us there as well.

@savinglibraries @FarehamWoodward @andyseedauthor @MichaelRosenYes @dawnafinch @LibraryCampaign @Booktrust @MicheRobinson @_Reading_Rocks_ @CressidaCowell @whatSFSaid @hantsconnect @BasingstokeNews @BasGazette Well we are excited by this proposal and really do hope that Chineham has been saved. In the current climate it's done the local community a world of good having something positive. #savehampshirelibraries @HantsAuthors @BasingstokeNews @BasGazette

@LibraryCampaign @savinglibraries is campaigning against these closures and are lucky to have other like minded people to drive the campaign forward. It's been so disappointing the lack of support/involvement that the Basingstoke MP @maria_miller has given to this campaign.

@mpblackman1 @Richieofbasing1 @MariaMillerUK What involvement has she had in the Campaign? What involvement and support has she offered the local groups who are challenging this process? Is she speaking to stop the cuts at the HCC on the 28th?

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

@emilydaly78 @Richieofbasing1 @mpblackman1 @Spectraspark @MariaMillerUK @emilydaly78 yes you are correct this was us organising an event at the library to enable her constituents to talk with her as she had not given them the opportunity. The lack of support/involvement from @MariaMillerUK has been shocking and saddening for the local community.

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

@mpblackman1 @Richieofbasing1 @Spectraspark @MariaMillerUK HCC report came out on Monday and they are proposing drastic cuts across Basingstoke on the library service. We are still waiting for contact from @MariaMillerUK showing her support to the ongoing campaign. We've had contact from media and Councillors but not the Basingstoke MP!

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

@mpblackman1 @Richieofbasing1 @Spectraspark @MariaMillerUK I am not going to argue about political parties but I would like to know what support @MariaMillerUK has done personally for this campaign. Asking people to complete the consultation is not supporting this valuable public service.

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

@MariaMillerUK @hantsconnect @MariaMillerUK wonderful to hear that you are continuing to fight for vital services. Can I ask what action you plan to take following HCC proposal to drastically cut the library service in Hampshire? We've seen 50% cut since 2009 when will you step in to stop this?

[Friends of Chineham Library @FriendsChineham]

Very excited to announce that we have saved Chineham Library from closure. We have lots of aspects to still fight on but last night we did celebrate a little. Here is the ITV news coverage https://t.co/5fzbOqndjm.
