Newington Reference Library December 6
Dear Library Supporters
There is a Full Council Meeting on Wednesday 6th December at 7pm and the Campaign Group for Newington Reference Library has been granted a Deputation to address Council Members from all parties on the future of the Reference Library in Walworth Road.
We will also be presenting our Petition, which now numbers 1000+ signatures, to the Mayor.
The meeting is open to the public, but there are limited spaces, and there are two other deputations.
The meeting will be held at the Town Hall on Peckham Road.
We recommend you arrive by 6.30pm at the very latest for the best chance of a seat.
We are allowed to speak for 5 minutes and then Councillors will question the deputation.
Please get there early and do feel free to bring banners and placards to demonstrate outside if you like.
Yours faithfully
Helen O'Brien, Julie Speechley, Khim Ng-Jeeves

hello tim,
i wondered if you could put a question on your blog/site/thing to ask other library users how much they pay for an a4 printout from computers?our wonderfully liberally demoncratic southwark council have just put the charge up 33.33% from 15p to 20p a page. i'm told the actual cost is 6p a page. i guess with all the money they make from the disadvantaged community round here they'll be able to put in that lift we're still fighting for soon to save our beloved reference library. oops, i forgot, the leader and his pack are deciding on their pay rises (the local rag tells us) so we all know where the newington library lift will be in their priorities...
best wishes!

(Dear Miss cynical--- I changed the percentage to 1/3 increase. You made the same mistake on your email to the council!) --- but i'll put the whole story at the top of the blog tomorrow morning. Tim
