My daughter makes good use of the facilities provided there.

The free newspaper is not a great deal to most of us. Most of us now have aceess to the internet and can read local news on the Thurrock Council Website.

It is convenient for most of us to go to the library from picking the children up from School especially some of us that have our children in schools around Aveley.

Due to my work patterns, i normally go to my local library mon-fri before 10 and after 6. Its a shame that due to this cuts i would be unable to do so henceforth.

We don't need a fortnightly newsletter we need well-funded and council-supported library services. Library staff are excellent public employees who work hard and provide a friendly informative service.

It is a lifeline to many residents. Have the councillors who have decided on these cuts actually visited a library recently? Maybe if they did, they would realise what a wide range of facilities they provide.

We cannot afford to loose hours that are so important to families, and students alike. lets not forget the elderly community who need these facilities too.

I bet you have spent more than you are saving just discussing this issue. Again it is the poorest paid being impacted. Cost savings should be looked for elsewhere. You would save thousands by turning off the halogen lights at the back of the Culver Centre that shine through my windows every night guarding an unused car park. As a council you are inept at seeking out genuine cost savings & Thurrock residents suffer.

I would be happy to see my council tax used to extend the library opening hours. For instance, to alow commuters to exchange books on their way home in the evening.

It is the heart of our community and an important place to gain information for research and education. It keeps the children and teens from the streets and involve them in different activities. The internet service is available for people, who cannot fortunate a computer at home, but need the internet access for leisure, research or job search. I can receive or fax letters from our library or use the copier.The list goes on..

We not only regularly pick books, CD,s and DVDs but my daughter also uses the computers at the library to access the internet as we don't have this facility at home.

Access to free computer time is invaluable for job seeking. Readers are more inclined to consider borrowing books for free too!

In times of economic downturn the Library needs to be even more accessible to the public. Maybe the Councillors should look at other areas where cuts could be made and save the Library services.

]]> Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:10:23 UTC 6396980 Mr John Wilson [Signature #9] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/6396971?utm_medium=rss Opening Tilbury Library at 10am instead of 9.20am will be a devastating blow to the literacy rates. The average reading age of most Tilbury residents is just 9 years old. These wicked and heartless tories are opening the library 30 minutes later. They are hearltess monsters. This is shocking. If I wasnt on benefits and didnt pay council tax - I would be happy for the council tax to increase so the library could remain open at 9.30am.

As if education and the standard of reading in this country is not bad enough, another idea of genious is formulated to discourage people from reading. Who on earth comes up with these ideas? I would ask for an answer on this, but would assume that the policy makers would not have the intellect or education to be able to answer in an erudite or eloquent manner.

I am totally against the councils plans to open the library later in the day every day. As routine is very important to Myself and I am sure to many other local residents. If it were my choice i would make the library open at 9am on monday also.
