Ode To A Libray - A Poem In Praise Of Public Libraries
19/05/2024 Duración: 11minAs a result of funding cuts by Birmingham City Council, there is now a proposal to reduce the library services budget by up to 40%. This would mean that many beloved local libraries around Birmingham would need to close, staff levels would be reduced, transferring library services to other non-council owned locations and creating an unspecified number of “hub” libraries. This plan would be an unprecedented disaster for everyone that uses the vitally important services provided by our public libraries, which lie at the heart of our communities. A campaign called Birmingham Loves Libraries has been formed by members of the public in order to try and overturn this decision and get Birmingham City Council to realise just how important our local libraries are.
