Many library buildings don’t have fully functioning heating systems but are still designated as community ‘warm spaces’ BUT Library Workers shouldn’t be working in temperatures below 16c - if you are contact your union rep.

More cuts in Devon, Newham, Hackney etc which will all end up with a poorer service but what’s rarely discussed is the physical & psychological effect on library workers who are dealing with redundancies, restructurings & the erosion of their profession.

When your employer takes away your security guard then offers you a ‘conflict management’ course even though you’ve had months of trouble from local youths and an assault in the library 🙄

On the 5th anniversary of the Covid lockdowns I’d just like to give respect and solidarity to @LambethUNISON and Library Workers in Lambeth Libraries who led the fight to #protectlibraryworkers ✊
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.

Lone-working isn’t just a serious health&safety concern it’s also a sign of poor management.
Library Workers even in smaller branches should never be forced to lone-work and if they are then their union reps should be all over management.
#protectlibraryworkers
Abuse & assaults on Library Workers are increasing but aren’t reported enough by staff and aren’t taken seriously enough by management.
Yes we need training and support but most of all we need more funding, resources, staffing and better library design.
#protectlibraryworkers
More stories about Library Workers being threatened, abused and assaulted, this isn’t a new thing but it’s definitely getting worse.
Cuts, short-staffing, poor management, colocation and socio-economic pressures have put library staff at greater risk.

Hi @lisanandy @RhonddaBryant @DcmsLibraries remember when Library Workers were classed as ‘key/critical workers’ during the pandemic?
Hasn’t protected them from cuts has it 😷

Hi @lisanandy @RhonddaBryant
Public Library Workers need your support.
12,000 have lost their jobs.
Most are low paid & undervalued.
Some are even on zero-hr contracts.
We are even told that volunteers can do our jobs!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times;
“If you’re NOT fighting to save library worker jobs then you’re NOT fighting to save libraries”

Norfolk library staff facing increased anti-social behaviour
https://t.co/WTjhQdGM2k
This is a national problem excerbated by cuts and the push towards ‘hubs’.
#protectlibraryworkers
Public Library Workers taking on the roles and responsibilities of other cut services isn’t something to be celebrated.
It hides cuts and puts massive stress on the staff and service.

The only reason @NYPL branches have AC is because the union got it in the contract that when the heat & humidity reaches a certain point we got the day off or another vacation day. Some collected months of leave sweating to keep branches open. #protectlibraryworkers
Library officials are blaming the air conditioning problems on $750,000 in deferred maintenance costs exacerbated by Mayor Eric Adams’ recent budget reductions, and warn that more unplanned closures are likely on the horizon.

Library Workers continue to be treated with disdain as councils look to ‘restructure’ services, change roles and cut terms&conditions.
All this with little or no proper consultation.
No wonder so many experienced staff are leaving, it’s a disgrace 🤬
