The voice of @MissLizBerry - a sonic as well as an intellectual treat!!!

"It didn't matter where you came from or how much money you had, everyone had the right to the knowledge & pleasure of books, to the light the library offered..." @MissLizBerry on public libraries & why they're worth fighting for. Please listen & share❤️‍🔥 bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Recently a group of local creatives got together to compose a homage in the form of a zine to their local Birmingham libraries - Brum Library Zine. Ref - LP 53.31 @MissLizBerry @CatherineQanik @LibraryofBham @BrumLibraryZine

Dear @BhamCityCouncil, we musn't let the word 'transformation' become a euphemism for 'decimating public services and making life worse for communities'. We need to generate hope and belief that our city can change in positive ways. Kind regards, @MissLizBerry

@martinibrooks @BhamCityCouncil @BrumLabour @rogerbhx @BrumLibraries Oh I am just so sad about this.

At @BhamCityCouncil Cabinet where @BrumLabour have agreed the libraries report. 32% cuts in opening hours, library closures and uncertainty regarding so-called ‘colocations’ @rogerbhx makes point that 60%,of consultees are opposed to proposals. @BrumLibraries @BrumLibraryZine

@OldStationSt @HistoricEngland @Glenbrookprop We are so inspired by your campaign and amazing resistance. Keep going! ❤️‍🔥

Damn right we're hopeful. Three Grade II @HistoricEngland listed buildings in 100m. We hope The Electric will join'em. @Glenbrookprop didn't expect this fight when they pounced on The Electric, wanting to demolish a Brum icon. But Brummies bite back! 🦁 #ICID=Android_BMNewsApp_AppShare" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…

I wrote a long-read for @brumdispatch about my teenage love for zines and why action is beautiful and powerful exactly when we feel most powerless. @BrumLibraryZine @BrumLibraries birminghamdispatch.co.uk/p/where-are-we…

@CatherineQanik @MissLizBerry Ha! Careful what you wish for... 😘

Tempted to start a sister campaign to get @MissLizBerry original teen zine republished birminghamdispatch.co.uk/p/where-are-we…

@stjerome1st @CILIPinfo ❤️

@BrumLibraryZine What a super, super idea to have this wonderfully varied group of writers sharing their support for Birmingham libraries in this way, unlike the crazy idea of closing these vital places. Pics too-catalogue drawers & kiksteps resonate! #savelibraries #saveBirmingham @CILIPinfo
