Edit: please continue to sign this petition if you support our campaign to open it more than the 2 days per week that it is now open. We are wanting it to open as normal! The demand is there and currently children can only go after they have finished school on a Tuesday and Thursday which means overall approximately 1 hour a week! Obviously this isn’t enough to serve, all the children in that area!

Hi, my name is Polly Cornelius and I am 9 (almost 10!) years old.

The library has always been one of mine and many others favourite places, being our preferred library to other, bigger libraries such as Grays.  I love going there and usually visit every week with my family.  Many of my friends go too, particularly as it is very close to our school.  

We cannot understand why the council has opened other libraries in Thurrock yet leave ours closed.

There are many ways that it can open safely but they are apparently unaware of these.  I am certain the library staff would be able to keep the library clean and safe for everyone.

Please sign our petition and help us in opening it as soon as possible.
