Libraries for all!

For decades, our libraries have promoted a large range of themes and events linked to books, education, local issues, culture, and libraries themselves. As well as Pride, and Black History Month, there have been promotions for Remembrance Day, Holocaust Memorial Day, World Mental Health Day, International Women’s Day, the World Cup, and much more. These promotions are vital for making our libraries relevant to everybody within our communities, and ensuring the continuing sustainability of a much loved public service.

Essex Libraries staff have the professional skills, experience and knowledge to run and promote suitable events, and the council should not interfere and should not be allowed to stop our libraries from being places for everyone. t’s always been vital to ensure that public libraries are never manipulated by any politicians' personal opinions or dislikes.
