To: FOR THE RESIDENTS OF HARROW
KEEP PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN HARROW
Do not close or eradicate the functions and services of our public libraries in Harrow.
To the leader of Harrow Council: We the undersigned say no to any library closures in harrow.
To the leader of Harrow Council: We the undersigned say no to any library closures in harrow.
Why is this important?
We ask the following:
That Harrow council does not close down or eradicate the functions and services of our public libraries in Harrow, one of the last community amenities left in the borough.
We believe that libraries are the embodiment of social provision and community spirit they offer more than just books. They offer children's activities during term time and holidays. These are used by parents and nurseries. Libraries are a great hub for the digital society we live in they provide access to the internet to those that do not have access in their homes. They are centres for study and reflection: they are places of peace for students and residents to study. They are venues for training and education and a haven for old aged pensioners who wish to get out of the confines of the home.
Knowledge is an inalienable right for all who live in Harrow. This is true for all walks of life and should be accessible universally across the whole borough. We are concerned that the threatened closure of libraries will leave sections of our communities with poor access to libraries than others.
We believe a modern library can be organised and funded through a variety of avenues and that Harrow council should investigate the commercial potential of libraries before decisions to close or limit access is taken.
Please sign this petition if you believe in the universal provision of literature, education and community service in Harrow.
Say no to this great social asset. Educated citizens of Harrow are the greatest asset to Harrow.
This petition will be handed to the mayor of Harrow before any
Decision is taken on the future of our libraries.
