Yes, shame on you Brent.
I grew up in Willesden Green and spent huge amounts of time in the local library as I was growing up. It helped to develop my passion for electronics which I ended up studying at university. I now work for a chip company in Cambridge.
Brent, it seems that you’ve forgotten how central libaries are to peoples lives. All ages benefit from them in numerous ways.
I have just visited Preston rd Library, to get a book with large print, my eyes are not what as were, due to Glaucoma. Alas it has been closed.
I can’t believe this is happening just over the hedge! I work for Barnet Libraries: your neighbouring borough. So far we seemed to have escaped such a devastating cutback of our services. However, library staff are rightly worried about imminent budget meetings and plans. I fully support your campaign. We know the work we do and its value to our service users.
Strangely enough, I don’t want to live in a Borough where people are less literate, less educated and less likely to get involved in the community, so I’d prefer it if you didn’t close our libraries. That is all.
