Bin your proposals to close, move and water down Warrington’s libraries. Instead, commit to retain all existing libraries, consult with the public and community groups on ways to involve even more community groups in to existing libraries and do more to publicly promote and celebrate the many activities already on offer across the network.
Why is this important?
Public libraries across Warrington are under threat in Council proposals under consultation right now. Plans propose that some libraries are closed, others replaced with “lockers” and others moved from their current location to shopping centres.
Libraries offer easy access to books and information to all of us, and a priceless space for young people to be absorbed in to the world of books. But libraries are about more than books. They also act as important community hubs – spaces in which the community can come together for events and spaces to meet, open to all no matter who they are or where they come from. They are a treasured and valuable asset to any community. Let’s be proud to be a town with fantastic, community libraries.
