It is reported that a new hub at Llandaff North could be created as part of cost-cutting for library services. 

Removing funding from the libraries in Whitchurch and Rhiwbina and building a community hub at the library in Llandaff North is feared to be one of the options being considered.

Both libraries are considered to be an integral part of the local communities and the closure of these institutions will have a huge impact on them. 

Independent councillor for Rhiwbina Jayne Cowan said:

“Rhiwbina has, month on month, had the largest number of books issued in any library in Cardiff, apart from Central. Footfall is not as important in my opinion as some libraries are hubs and have extensive meeting rooms so it’s like comparing apples and pears. If they were to close it would be absolutely devastating for the local communities.”

Please help and support this petition to keep these libraries open.
