LEWISHAM LIBRARY WORKERS BALLOT TO STRIKE

We support the library workers balloting for strikes to save our libraries from the council's cuts. Save Lewisham Libraries campaign will be right behind you in this fight.

Shame on the council who refused to justify their attack on jobs and services when approached for comment in this article.

OCCUPATION OF CARNEGIE LIBRARY CONTINUES

The peaceful occupation of Carnegie Library enters its fourth day.

There are now around thirty people left inside but security guards and police are not letting anyone in and anyone who leaves cannot get back in.  It is really important we send solidarity, take food and support them to keep their strength up. Visits in person are welcome but if you really can't get there please send a message of solidarity to savelambethlibraries@gmail.com
