Closing the library would have a detrimental effect on the local community and economy.

I took my children to a library to borrow books in the 60s and my daughter takes her children to a library now. How many people can afford to buy the number of books you can regularly read to your children or enjoy yourself? Please don't close our libraries - once they are gone they won't be replaced. What a legacy to leave to our children's children!

They should not be closed. Kids do their homework and revise for their exams there, older adults learn to use computers there, isolated people have a safe space to socialise in, anyone can find a new book there. Film clubs, black history month, fairtrade fortnight, storytelling workshops and loads more fun and educational events are held in libraries across Lewisham. You can't recreate that 'when the economy picks up.'

I spent a year living near New Cross and frequently went to the library. Literacy is always being challenged and we need libraries to encourage our children to read and enjoy reading. Closing libraries is dangerous - for many people it is the only place for solitude, quiet and to unwind from their stressful lives. Families spend time together there. Please keep the library open.

We cannot produce the next generation of educated young people if we do not provide the resources for them to learn and achieve, making New Cross even poorer

The whole area in my view has been neglected by the Council to now take away the library is telling us that we do not exist in Southwark, my Council Tax seems to be used for every other area in Southwark, I do not see the justification of closing an already part-time library.
