Top Tweets for #CloseTheLibraries
@mominbayarea As a Library Worker & Trade Unionist who was heavily involved in #protectlibraryworkers & #closethelibraries movements I can assure you that many/most of us felt that our concerns were/are ignored & that we were/are put at unnecessary risk 🤷♀️😷
Hi #alaac22 any chance of inviting me over next year to speak about the situation re U.K. Public Libraries and my involvement in the #closethelibraries #protectlibraryworkers #savelibraries movement 😊
On 20 March 2020 Unison members in Lambeth libraries invoked Section 44 and walked out. Around this time in the UK and the US, #closethelibraries and #protectlibraryworkers started trending on Twitter.
On 23 March, the majority of public libraries in the U.K. closed.

With more and more Library Workers off work with covid or self-isolating and more and more councils temporarily cancelling events or closing branches is it time to resurrect #closethelibraries 🤷♀️😷
#LJMovers2021 Callan Bignoli started the #CloseTheLibraries campaign to encourage reluctant directors to shut down, followed by #ProtectLibraryWorkers when some reopened without clear health guidelines. @eminencefont #COVID19 #Labor #ChangeAgents https://t.co/I1DbritpYn
On #nationallibrarianday don’t forget those who fought to #closethelibraries and #protectlibraryworkers ✊️
Public Libraries shouldn’t be open at all the moment let alone extending their services. During a deadly pandemic it shouldn’t be left to individual councils it should be a national government decision 🤷♀️🤬

Once again, library management ignoring the pleas of the workers and now wanting to welcome students into libraries for study space and more computers. Never mind front lines staffs health and well-being #ProtectLibraryWorkers
Libraries are NOT an essential service and Library Staff are NOT ‘key/critical’ workers during a pandemic especially with a new deadlier variant.
Stop putting the health & lives of Library Workers & Users at risk and close them now.

Stay at home don’t got out but use your library and collect your books. Anyone else fed up with all this mixed messaging? #ProtectLibraryWorkers #lockdown2021 #closethelibraries #book #library #coronavirusuk #Lockdown3 #reading
If anyone works in a public library is not happy about remaining open please comment your concerns on libraries connected twitter post 👇#closethelibraries #protectlibraryworkers #lockdown #Covid19UK
Throughout #Covid19 we have prioritised the safety and wellbeing of staff, volunteers and #library users. Read our full statement on English libraries during this latest lockdown. @DcmsLibraries @ace_national @CILIPinfo @publiclibnews @LGAculturesport https://t.co/byVfeSWWwd
@libsconnected @DcmsLibraries @ace_national @CILIPinfo @publiclibnews @LGAculturesport Absolute BS. I've never felt safe in the building nor do I trust the senior management who sit safely wfh. There are four cases in our libraries (that I know of). You should be following the guidance from @unisontheunion!
#ProtectLibraryWorkers #closethelibraries
Can I just make it very clear that myself & Unison argued that all libraries should close, Cilip also recently advised this.
We don’t believe that keeping libraries open does prioritise the safety of library workers/users 🤷♀️

It's time to stop gambling with human lives. To stop the cycle of boom and bust, the surges - and the inevitable lockdowns. We can clearly see how other countries have successfully protected health AND their economies.
The UK government needs to adopt a zero COVID strategy NOW.
As longs customers get their library books. Your life doesn’t matter 🤷♀️ #protectlibraryworkers #closethelibraries
Another day of putting books before my life and safety. While endangering lives of my service users who want to use the service on a dangerous raging pandemic. Joys of being a critical key worker during a pandemic #ProtectLibraryWorkers #closethelibraries #lockdownuk
@tennisdenys @BorisJohnson @CMO_England @uksciencechief @michaelkbrodie @DCMS The government should #closethelibraries to #ProtectLibraryWorkers @cj_dinenage @BorisJohnson @CMO_England @DCMSArts
I really wish I could afford to take unpaid leave so I didn’t have to work through this awful pandemic. I’m disgusted that local authorities are forcing library workers to work and if their unhappy then suggesting they take unpaid leave #ProtectLibraryWorkers #closethelibraries
It was with great pride that I was able to share this letter with my library team this week, which will help them and their families enormously in these difficult times. Thank you @cj_dinenage @DCMS for this recognition for library staff.
@hackneylibs As an ex Hackney Libraries staff member/Unison Convenor I’m saddened to see that you’re still open at all, take care and stay safe ✊️
