Public library services and staff are under threat from cuts and closures on a massive scale. Unison and the Campaign for the Book are asking people to join with us to Speak Up For Libraries – both now and in the future. We need action now to safeguard the future of the public library service as a whole.During the lobby of Parliament on 13th March , we need local library users, campaigners and staff to help us highlight the importance of libraries in providing access to learning, information and knowledge and as a vital lifeline for many communities.
Come and attend the rally and hear high profile speakers, entertainment and films all telling the same story – libraries are a valued and vital resource. Visit the 'pop up' library and see for yourself the many faces of a modern library. Arrange to meet with your MP and tell them now is the time to act to protect libraries.
The rally will take place from 11.30am at Central Hall Westminster, Storey's Gate, Westminster, London SW1H 9NH. The lobby of Parliament will start at 2.30pm. Click here for more information.
