Keep Liverpool Libraries Public

We want ALL Liverpool libraries to be publicly run with properly trained staff and Librarians

Why is this important?

BRECK ROAD, DOVECOT, FAZAKERLEY, KENSINGTON, LEE VALLEY, OLD SWAN, SEFTON PARK, SPELLOW, WALTON, WAVERTREE and WEST DERBY libraries are all in danger of being outsourced and/or handed over to volunteers. Mayor Anderson claims to understand the 'worth' of libraries to our communities, yet a library that is outsourced and/or handed over to volunteers is on a slippery slope to closure.

We demand therefore, that our libraries remain publicly run and staffed with properly trained library staff. We make this demand because our communities and our children deserve no less. We make this demand because Public Libraries will ultimately save you money, but more especially we make this demand because Public Libraries save lives.

This petition is part of a city-side petition to defend the library service.
