Save Our Libraries Day: find your nearest protest
This Saturday, 5 February, libraries around the country will be playing host to read-ins, author appearances and story-telling events to protest at the threatened closure of 400 branches. To find your nearest participating library, take a look at this map on the Guardian website.
We know that Kensal Rise is holding a read-in, and that the Preston group are holding a public meeting in the library that afternoon. I’ll try and find out if FoCL are planning anything.
Even if your library is NOT under threat, perhaps you should go and make use of it on Saturday. Take a BOOK out, talk to your librarian, use the internet, or just walk through the door to have your foot fall counted.
