CANDLELIGHT VIGILS AT DOOMED LIBRARIES
Protesters from all over Lambeth will gather this week at the TWO libraries condemned to death on April 1 – to be converted into unwanted fee-charging GLL gyms at huge expense. (Two more are doomed to close soon – although keeping all 10 much-needed Lambeth libraries open would cost MUCH LESS than the brutal closures).
Children’s events, a farewell party and candle-lit vigils will celebrate the popularity of these much-used libraries
– and Lambeth residents’ determination to FIGHT ON.
There is still time for Labour Lambeth to see sense, save money and save face. That is what the whole borough wants.
