Lambeth Council, like all other councils faced with severe central government cuts, is looking for sensible ways to save money and raise income. The Council is conducting a co-operative review of the charges it makes for cultural services (Leisure, Parks & Libraries). Your views are invited. Please read the short discussion paper (hard copies in the library) and take a couple of minutes to complete the questionnaire - it’s only 6 questions. The deadline is Friday 7th March...

Lambeth Council are threatening to cut libraries. This will mean that Lambeth Libraries, which already have fewer staff and fewer books than the London average, could soon become even worse. Lambeth UNISON, which represents the library staff, has launched a Manifesto for Libraries.

You can help this campaign:

• Email your councillors to ask if they will support the Manifesto for Libraries. There’s an election this May, libraries should be an issue
• If you’re in a trade union, community group or faith group ask if they will support the Manifesto for Libraries. Contact us if you need any help, and to let us know what they decide.
