Hello everyone, just to update you that the council will be holding a cabinet meeting to vote on the library closures tomorrow starting at 14.00. It will be streamed and saved here: https://www.youtube.com/@BrightonandHoveGovUk/streams

If you have not already done so, please contact the councillors to let them know your opinion on the library closures. The more of us who contact them, the greater our chances we can stop the library closures now. You can find you councillors here -

I have found another solution- Brighton council currently spends over twice what other councils do on their book fund. They spend far far more than any other council per 1,000 residents. Perhaps this could be reined in instead? Brighton Council could still afford to spend more than anyone else on books if that’s what they prefer – Even a generous budget 1.5x other councils would make over £125,000 savings a year. No libraries would need to close, no hours reduced at Jubilee and Hove libraries. Please help me to raise awareness of this option.
