And in the City ….
Recent news on cuts to City Libraries:
* Opening hours to be cut by 10%, with consequent cuts in staffing
* Some redundancies, including library managers
* Book budget cut by 25%
* Carlton Road Library closing later in the year (previously known)
* No cuts at senior management level
* Further cuts likely later
This is in the addition to the established campaign, which relates to County Libraries (book budget cut by 75%!).

I would be happy to do the stall on the Sat. Delighted that this Campaign has kicked off.Margaret McDermott.
Hi Folks
I’ll be there and will spread the word as much as possible. I feel a poem coming on…
All the best
