Don't hesitate to react to Council Leader Claire Kober on twitter @ClaireKober remind her that:

- books relevant for the community have been sold off cheaply

- library users will be locked out for 6-8 months without alternative provision

- the library space will be greatly reduced

- the dedicated youth and exhibition space is lost

- the library will be crossed by heavy people traffic towards the Council office

- IT improvements will not happen until 2017!
