ICYMI last night’s report on @BBCLondonNews bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0… Suprised to see @GLL_UK staff working in the library - think @LambethUNISON may have something to say about that. Staff were cut from Libraries to enable @JimDicksLambeth to throw £2.8m at GLL

More money being poured down the drain on Carnegie by the look of it-further budget of £650K being allocated @defendtheten @FrndsofCarnegie @lswaffield1 @Scott4Streatham .
Of course had you fixed the roof when it was stolen it wouldn’t have been left empty & the Library wouldn’t have moved to temporary unsatisfactory accommodation & @LambethLabour wouldn’t be doing dodgy deals with @picturehouses giving away our community assets & bundles of cash!

Well done Ella! Quick reminder that #summerreadingchallenge is organised and delivered by staff of @lamlibs who are now tenants of @UpperNorLibHub Library stripped of staff, only 1 FT, who do an amazing job despite trust muscling in & trying to steal credit.

Our new report, based on in-depth, first-hand surveys of several Lambeth libraries, suggests that the flawed 'neighbourhood library' model is failing badly, even on its own terms. Read it here: defendthe10-lambeth.org.uk/

There are simply far, far too few champions of public libraries in Government, local or national.
Communities up and down the country are being disadvantaged as a result.
