Save Hove Library
We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to We, the undersigned, are concerned to hear that Hove Library is potentially under threat from the cuts in this year’s Council budget.
We urge the City Council to reject the closure of our much-loved Library.
Hove Library is well used and loved by our community. It is a lifeline to many. It is free to use and popular. It provides great value costing the council taxpayer only 32p per week per person. Our library helps our community: 34% of library users have no home internet access and 32% are jobseeking. Over 30,000 children use libraries in Brighton and Hove ranging from homework clubs to baby boogie. Over 600 people attend reading and writing workshops. Hove library is home to special collections, provides a safe space and helps break down barriers.
