Tonight 23rd look out for some of our wonderful SOLE supporters on @BBCNewsnight They braved the rain at short notice to be interviewed by @jennymparks and explained why #libraries are important to them, and their concerns for the service. 10.30pm #BBC2

Subject: have your say on the library services.
No closures? On what basis ? Depleted bookstock? Community hubs but space for core use ?
Other concerns or ideas?

‘Have your say’!!! #libraries 2 @Essex_CC online sessions Mon 20th Sept (see https://t.co/GD3mpf2y2c). Send in your questions and comments - see if you get an answer in the session!
Fight for your library! Head to #Loughton High Rd Saturday 4 Sept to campaign against plans to demolish the Loughton library building, & replace it with a block of flats with a much smaller library below.

#wivenhoe library users - what do you think of the new catalogue and reservation system? #saveourlibraries Is the library back to normal? Are you nervous about returning to the library due to #covid?
From 3.10, this week's joining of the #library consortium is discussed, with Katy Vargas from Colchester SOLE - #SaveOurLibraries#Essex on from around 3.20.
How have you found the new system?

TODAY! #Clacton@essexlive@BBCEssex#anniversary 150 years Local history is an essential #library resource. We must protect all our public libraries - professionally staffed, and crammed with books, also quiet study spaces and computers! @EssexLibraries
Congratulations @LouiseMcKinlay on your new role in @Essex_CC and responsibility for @EssexLibraries. We sincerely hope you will treasure all our public libraries, professional paid staff, bookstocks, study space etc. and that you value the lifelong education this service offers
Today is the start of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek! Check out the @readingagency Reading Well for mental health which provides helpful information and support for managing common mental health conditions, or dealing with difficult feelings and experiences. https://t.co/VSLrWOVizq
@EssexLibraries Thank you! If possible please could post about its reopening as it has been closed for new windows. Publicity will make more people aware that it is open. Best wishes!
@joannacary@SOLE_Essex@wmarybeard Essex County Council don’t have a good reputation for valuing books - since 2007/2008 Colchester Library’s book stock dropped by 60,000 books - this closure of the history room is more of the same book cull. The dedicated staff in the History room - they’ll be gone too.
