Can’t believe I have to repeat this again;
Public Libraries without paid/trained Library Workers and/or a statutory basis/remit AREN’T Public Libraries.
They are volunteer-led community centres/bookswaps/Internet Cafes.
This isn’t me being unkind it’s the truth.
#savelibraries
A ‘refresh’
a ‘restructuring’
a ‘transformation’
a ‘re-organisation’
an ‘alternative delivery model’
a ‘new way of working’
a ‘partnership opportunity’
All doublespeak
All disingenuous
All cuts.
#savelibraries
Public Libraries are an easy target for @reformparty_uk and other far-right agitators due to the fact that they are a public service that aims to be welcoming, inclusive & representative to/of ALL members of the community.
They must be defended.

The @librarycongress held an event for the end of #NationalPoetryMonth. U.S. Poet Laureate, Arthur Sze, was joined by U.K.'s Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage.
I was unfamiliar with Mr. Armitage's work before this but, my goodness! do I have a lot of catching up to do. 💞💞
Let me tell you why Cllrs telling people to use libraries or lose them is deeply flawed;
Decades of cuts have left many libraries barely open or staffed or stocked.
Quantitive indicators don’t show the real worth/use.
Many well used libraries have been closed.

Library Workers had been threatened by the Head of Service that they risk disciplinary action if they attended this #savelibraries meeting which sadly is routine BUT Connor is a @unisontheunion rep 🤬

A UNISON libraries rep in Newham has been suspended after speaking at a public meeting opposing 50% cuts.
Trade union reps must be free to defend members and public services.
This looks like an attack on union democracy.
Reinstate Connor.

Hi @RachelReevesMP does “strong public services” mean proper & sustainable funding for libraries and reversing the cuts & closures of the last 15 years?
#savelibraries
In the last 5 years @haringeylibrary have lost 30% of their book stock, this isn’t due to routine weeding/stock management it’s due to budget cuts and a lack of focus.
What are libraries without books 🤷🏾♀️

Public Libraries are a statutory service.
Councils provide/fund them.
Library Workers are paid & trained to run them.
The 1964 Act makes no provision for alternatives such as volunteer-led etc.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is deluded, ignorant or lying.

A nation's knowledge is its soul. Burning libraries, like Nepal's Royal Library or treasures like Charyapada, sets a civilization back centuries. Protect heritage, save wisdom. 📚🔥 #SaveLibraries #CulturalHeritage

On 8/9 ten Caerphilly libraries will close for good, when will this ever end 😔
