Nottingham library campaign group concerned as councillors 'discussing' running them with volunteers
A campaign group seeking to save three vital Nottingham libraries from closure fears attempts may be made to have them operated by volunteers. The group says libraries are "nothing without library staff" and volunteer-run schemes generally favour more affluent areas.
The council had been making progress to balance its books through numerous controversial proposals, including the axing of three libraries in some of the most deprived areas of Nottingham. A petition, started by Save Nottingham Libraries and signed by almost 3,000 people, was handed to the council at the Council House on Monday, July 11.
Many of the signatures include librarians, library users, however one signatory is city councillor Phil Jackson, who represents Bilborough. Clifton independent councillors Maria Watson, for Clifton east, Kirsty Jones, for Clifton east, and Kevin Clarke, for Clifton east, also signed the letter. "Libraries would be nothing without library staff, both librarians and library assistants. Dedicated workers have experience, training, and a knowledge of library stock and the library system. They are also the human face of the library service, and the human contact they offer is reliable and invaluable.
