Save Our Local BOB LAWRENCE LIBRARY

This is a final plea for support. The library will close its doors on 16th May 2015 based on the document shared by Harrow Council -

Now, more than ever, we need OUR voices heard! We need to make a stand. We need to save our library. We cannot sit back and let the Harrow Labour Council bully us into closing library services. If you want to save the library, please come forward and contact friend of Bob Lawrence Library [[email protected]]. We need people on the ground, we need people willing to stand up for our community rights. We need people who are willing to try and make a difference.

We are organizing a press conference next Wednesday, 11th February. It would be great if you can be there.

We will be presenting our proposed plans for the library with the intention of increasing usage, space efficiency and potential revenue generating opportunities.

Details are as follows:

Place: Flash Musical Youth Theatre, Methuen Road, Edgware Middlesex, HA8 6EZ
Time: 5:30 pm

We hope you will be able to joi
