Defend our libraries!

Good luck to all those marching to defend our libraries today.

I won’t be amongst the lively Lambeth contingent as I am not in London, but am confident of strong support locally and nationally for this timely and important demonstration.

The Tory assault on our library services is not letting up – and we need to take our opposition to this assault forward in unity.

UNISON’s Barnet branch, whose library members are striking today, deserve particular credit for driving ahead with the plan for this demonstration.
