Poem that pretty much sums up what public libraries offer

Brum Library Zine Birmingham Loves Libraries LibraryofBirmingham I'm a retired librarian- this brought me to tears. Yes, I had the love and still do , along with all the librarians out there..as Michael Rosen said, closing libraries is an act of cruelty. And closures are happening in places that need libraries most. Cruelty, and vandalism..

Aston Library was the first library I was taken to from primary school - an amazing building with wonderful staff - it was magical - I then went on to join Birmingham Central Library where I spent many Saturday mornings in the basement Children's section. Brum Library Zine

It's time for a public inquiry and a scrapping of the cuts budget. Continuing full steam ahead with reckless cuts to services and asset sales will mean the most vulnerable bear the costs of these mistakes.
