Save Newham Libraries: An Update

by Cynthia Bowling

I recently attended a meeting as part of the Save the Newham Libraries campaign, and it was a positive experience. Lots of people came along and added their names to the petition. Everyone was really friendly, helpful and welcoming. It felt like a good start and something that feels important to support.

At the meeting, I met Roseanne, who is part of the campaign group. I shared information about the work we do at One Place East and talked about our intention to invite people from Newham’s disability groups to get involved. Our hope is to campaign together and support one another and make new friends along the way.

Libraries are places where many of us feel safe, included and welcome, and that’s why this campaign matters. We have two days of action planned for 17th and 26th February.
