To: Kent County Council
Save the Newington Library
Stop the plans to cut the Newington Library's hours from 40 to 15 hours.
Why is this important?
Libraries are a vital source of learning and education in our communities. They are a vital public good we cannot do without.
It is deeply worrying that the Council plans to cut the hours of Newington Library and all Thanet libraries per year drastically. This means forced redundancy, early retirement and non filling of vacant posts. In effect this would mean losing people who are passion for what books can bring to people's lives.
We call for the Council to halt its plans and rethink its approach. We must protect our library services.
