Time for an immediate moratorium on the cuts.

Calling all Brum library-loving crafters!🪡

Cabinet is due to make a decision about our libraries on Jan 21st. Before then, we want to create some crafted treasures that will remind them of the solace, care & knowledge libraries offer us all. 🙏 Get in touch if you'd like to help (email in video)❤️

Had a brilliant evening with friends reflecting on how important #libraries are to all of us. I read poems written by Liz Berry and @lukekennard.bsky.social celebrating how much we love our community libraries from the amazing Brumzine: www.bbc.com/news/article... @brumloveslibraries.bsky.social
