Councillor Robert Rams, the cabinet member responsible for librarys is conducting "a review". He has publicly stated that he would like people to order books online and collect them from Tescos or read them in Starbucks. He stated that libraries are outdated (and compared them to Blockbuster videos who he said went bust).
There is also a plan being drawn up to sell them off (along with allotments and council Morgues). We believe that this is totally wrong and are completely opposed to this social vandalism, which will destroy one of Barnet's great public amenities.
We the Undersigned, are totally opposed to the closure, sell off or downgrading of the Library service in the London Borough of Barnet.
We believe that Libraries are a vital part of the Borough and recognise the importance of having trained Libraries run by trained librarians. We believe that it is vital to have "quiet space" for students to study.
We believe that closure of the service would cause untold damage to the citizens of Barnet and is totally opposed by the vast majority of the population.
