As you may be aware the County Council have announced a review of the Library service. They seemed to be surprised at the outcry this provoked and have started holding some public meetings on the plans. The next one in Cambridge is 9th September, from 7pm to 9pm at the Central Library.
The County Council report makes it clear that they are considering closing local libraries, and it is vital to show the support and need for both Arbury Court and Milton Road libraries.
There is a recently set up Friends of Arbury Court Library who are keen to get new volunteers, and have organised a petition to save the library. They also have a Facebook group. Please sign the petition and join the group.
When the Friends have a web site and a settled contact address we'll advertise it here, but if you dislike Facebook the Focus team will put you in touch with the organisers.
Milton Road library has a well established friends group who are campaigning to save their library. They can be contacted via email, and have a web presence at Chesterton Community Association.
Andy Pellew and you City Councillors will be campaigning to keep both libraries open and providing a vital service to the local community.
