@SaveNottmLib One of the managers involved in trying to shut down the Aspley library told me it was because the library was not being used. It’s on the edge of a huge “council estate”. She pushed for the new Sherwood library in preference to it. Typical #CultOfManagerialism incompetence.
@CILIPinfo @BBCr4today @richove Paid, professional library staff are essential for an accountable and professional library system. Volunteers do great work but every library should have a paid, professional librarian present. A school would never be run by volunteers - why should libraries?
On @BBCr4today @richove calls on Govt to address 'critical' issues in #Libraries. "Responsibility is held by Govt to provide a comprehensive & efficient library service" - service needs to be more 'joined up' - an "infrastructure for democracy" From 02:23 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
The library minister also has statutory duty to 'promote the improvement of the public library service' - both duties can be interpreted with far greater ambition

@ayubkhan786 Local/national campaigners & unions have been using deprivation indices etc to argue against library cuts and closures for years, I wrote a guide to doing this for ‘Speak up for Libraries’. Most EIA’s like consultations aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
In Nottingham when we fought 3 library closures in 2022 the equality impact assessments were damning. It was VERY obvious libraries targeted were in areas that had the most need for resources & support. The same 3 libraries & another in a similar area are under threat again.

@SaveNottmLib @BBCr4today The Labour led Nottingham City council is planning to close yet more libraries - it is clear that @UKLabour has no vision for libraries seeing them as a burden not an agent of social mobility
@mrjamesob wouldn’t it be good if we had a renewed vision for libraries in our communities ?

If you use a Nottingham library, especially if you use one of the libraries under threat of closure, we encourage you to please respond to this survey from @guardian asking how libraries shape your life. Reply here too if you'd like to share with us 💚📚💜 theguardian.com/books/article/…

Very much tracks with the situation in Nottingham. Councillors pretended to be offended when we asked why cuts were being targeted in working class areas. And yet they are. Support our campaign, sign our petition here: tinyurl.com/NottmSOL

This is an enormous scandal and needs to be a priority for the new Government. Libraries are absolutely vital community assets, particularly in the most deprived past of the country. We’re proud to champion them through @WarmWelcome_UK

How does this work when you are simultaneously proposing to close libraries? Upgrades to where? Aspley? Basford? Bilborough? Radford Lenton? Or do you still intend to close these? @CllrNeghat @Ethan_Radford_ @ng_labour @NottmLibraries @MyNottingham westbridgfordwire.com/nottingham-cit…
Please consider signing. These places are so important. And so much more than libraries.
