There have always been libraries and there always should. Despite the rise of the digital age there should always be a place people can go to research and read actual books.

Access to information and books is vital to ensuring that younger generations can have the opportunities of those before. It is my understanding that a local primary school has no library due to financial difficulties, if you remove this public service what happens to those children?

Libraries make an essential contribution to the lives of all. Particularly in these days of rising prices and cuts in education, the opportunity to browse and borrow books is invaluable for young and old alike and the library is at the very heart of a civilised community.

The Library contributed hughly to my love of reading. I am still a regular user of Blackheath Village Library. The Library is an essential service to the people of Blackheath Village. Cutting this service would be a considerable detriment to the life of the Village. Please do not close Blackheath Village Library.

It is so close to school and we love going there after school. If it is not at this location our children will not be able to use the resource of local libraries as other libraries are not convenient enough for us to visit on a regular basis.
There are at least 4 schools nearby and I believe it is the case for many other people.

Others may use it more, but the most deprived, and the least mobile, with the least political clout, will be those who would miss it most.

The library is one place where anyone from Blackheath or elsewhere, rich or poor can be sure of some internet access. When libraries were 1st created part of the motivation was to give access to the printed word and the enrichment that brings to all, access to the internet in our day replicates and expands that benefit. Our library is vital to the community. (Written on holiday.

Longer term, this contributes greatly to the developing literacy of children with benefits for the borough as a whole.
