Upcoming event: Save Our Libraries, Thursday 20th January

Philip Pullman will be speaking at the Save Our Libraries event in Oxford Town Hall tomorrow. We’ll also be hearing from Steve Squibbs (library worker and Unison rep) and Stephanie Kitchen (local library user and campaigner). The meeting has been organised by Oxford Save Our Services and is open to everyone.

Twenty of Oxfordshire’s 43 libraries are currently threatened with closure as a result of county council cuts. I’ve created a Google Map showing where these libraries are.
