Library cuts consultation

Dont forget there's just one week now to get your library survey form in.  These forms are part of the Council's consultation ahead of their announcement/decision over which libraries they propose to close.  It's really important that people who value their local library actually speak up for it.

You can find the on - line version of the form at this link.

The Council is also having a few "public meetings" about this.  The meetings are not about specific libraries but about the whole thing.  There's one on 30th May at 2pm at Central Library.
