Join Save Newham Libraries first public meeting on January 18th.
Newham Libraries are a lifeline for our community. But the Council is thinking of slashing our library budget by 50%. This could mean closures, staff cuts, and service reductions.
We're building a campaign to defend our libraries and we need you involved!
Will be hearing from some brilliant speakers, including local authors, library workers and inspiring campaigners who have won elsewhere.
Then we will break into groups to do some planning together. Don’t worry if you don’t have any experience of being involved in this kind of thing. Everyone has something they can bring!
