Haringey Council pledges to expand role of libraries
A pledge has been made to expand the role that libraries play in the day-to-day life of people living in property to rent in the London borough of Haringey.
On Saturday (February 5th) a national Save Our Libraries day took place, with people across the UK campaigning against government cuts that are threatening the closure of these buildings.
But in Haringey, the council is not planning on closing any of its nine libraries.
Councillor Dilek Dogus, the cabinet member for adults and community services, said: "Our libraries already do so much more than lend books. There are health check sessions, help for small businesses, drop-in sessions for older people and a great range of activities for children and much more."
He went on to say that they will soon be changed so that they offer the community even more.
Earlier this week, it was announced that authors Andrea Eames and Andy Merriman will be appearing at two libraries in the London borough of Wandsworth on Thursday (February 10th) to speak about their most recent works.
