The petition reads,

“Bradmore Green, Broad Green, Sanderstead and Shirley libraries are under threat AGAIN of closure, but there are other plans afoot that will damage the library service for all. We will not let that happen.

This is NOT about improving the service.  If the changes proposed are made, it will lead to a poorer service for many and literally no service at all for quite a number across Croydon.

Our libraries, and the skilled staff that run them, serve the community of Croydon. They provide safe places to connect with others, places to study, to complete homework, to relax, to seek reliable information and help, as well as offering a wide range of resources and materials. They also offer access to facilities including PCs to help with research, homework, online applications, job searches and more.

All these libraries merit saving. The council’s own statistics and reports demonstrate this! Some serve deprived or elderly communities. Some give easy access and offer parking as well as being on good transport links.

Public libraries cost little but deliver a lot.

We say NO to changes to our library service. At the very least, save the service we have so that it can be enhanced in the future.
