Plans by your local Labour councillors to cut hundreds of thousands of pounds from the library service could mean big changes ahead at South Library in Essex Road.

The council is currently consulting residents on possible service changes. You can give your views here: www.islington.gov.uk/libraries .  You can also fill in a paper copy at South Library.

Labour councillors have refused to rule out reduced opening hours and staffing levels at the library which has already been closed on Wednesdays.  Other options might include charging for some services, massive increases in the charges they already have, or even fewer libraries!

Although they have said no libraries will close for now, local Liberal Democrats believe Labour plans to set up a trust to run the Council’s libraries would mean they were free to close libraries in the future with no accountability to the public.
We the undersigned object to plans to cut the opening hours of South Library and oppose any reduction in Islington Library services
