There are many inspirational women across our city. A hack politician presiding over cuts in services to our most vulnerable citizens is not one of them.

More & more libraries having to close due to short-staffing, years ago when there was give in the system this would rarely if ever happen but most services are below minimum staffing levels + lots of staff off sick due to stress & the aftermath of covid.

APOLOGIES to anyone who bought the i paper today expecting an article about Lambeth's awful £1m library cut. It wasn't there. It's here. It's super. https://t.co/rAGGr4YbeY

[Cllr Martin Brooks @martinibrooks]

Good to hear @BhamCityCouncil Deputy Leader Sharon Thompson on the life-changing opportunities that books can bring to people’s lives. Shame that @BrumLabour are closing libraries, cutting opening hours and harming life chances of our young people
@BrumLibraries @BrumLibraryZine

[Cllr Martin Brooks @martinibrooks]

Many youngsters in Birmingham will be denied these life-changing opportunities as @BrumLabour damages the city’s network of community libraries and MPs like @PreetKGillMP stand by. @BrumLibraries @BrumLibraryZine @HallgreenSave

We love that this year @worldbookdayuk is championing children’s reading choices, encouraging everyone to Read Your Way!

We couldn't agree more with them that every reader is different, and there’s no right or wrong way to enjoy reading 🙌 #WorldBookDay

[The Library Campaign @LibraryCampaign]

BUY THE INDEPENDENT TODAY! Splendid story about World Book Day & stupid library cuts...

[Defend The Ten @defendtheten]

How shameful that Lambeth Council is marking World Book Day with library cuts

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

People sometimes say kids don't read any more. But I'm always amazed by the excitement you see on author visits, especially #WorldBookDay. Give kids free choice of what to read, let them follow their excitement wherever it leads - and THEY STILL LOVE BOOKS!

Happy World Book Day!

p.s. two days left to get a print of one of my cartoons: https://t.co/v2Rk1q0xfN

[Liz @Liz_Miles]

On #worldbookday2025 we must shout out for free access to books. The destruction of public libraries must be stopped. If people can’t afford books and there are no libraries or book stocks then … 🤷

[Libraries Connected @libsconnected]

Public #Libraries are the very best places to visit if you want to #ReadYourWay. Not only are they palaces of books of all different genres and styles, but all those books are completely free! #WorldBookDay2025

[Defend The Ten @defendtheten]

Lambeth libraries budget 2025: £4.5m

Lambeth libraries budget 1985: £4.2m

40 years of @LambethLabour library austerity.
