When working in an office never met anyone else for lunch because I was using the hour to write, when an unemployed single mother did the washing up at 2am (only once all plates were dirty) and waited for baby to fall asleep, when teaching never watched TV & wrote after marking.

Authors. Bit of a personal question so please do feel free to ignore me. How did you fit writing into your everyday schedule when you first started?

@friends_norwood @and_unite @SaveSanderstead @NetworkCroydon @SaveCroydonLibs And by doing so are not only undermining the statutory basis of the library but are also undermining other campaigns and your library service as a whole. As I said at your meeting this is not just about you and your library it has much wider implications 🤷‍♀️

@friends_norwood @and_unite @SaveSanderstead @NetworkCroydon @SaveCroydonLibs Oh come on what you’re actually proposing is taking on the running of the building with “A professional library worker during opening hours” NOT library ‘workers’ and reducing the public library space via “private hire, hot-desk subscription and sub-leases to local businesses”

Just thinking about the Croydon housing story and their proposals to close 5 libraries, many people who live in poor & overcrowded housing use libraries as a warm & safe space 🤷‍♀️

Looking for people who care about Croydon libraries. Bradmore Green, Broad Green, Sanderstead, Shirley & South Norwood libraries are under threat AGAIN Losing these libraries will drastically reduce our statutory library service in Croydon.

Lots of public Q’s about #sandersteadlibrary from the public to @oliverjlewis - who has the cheek to bat off a Q about the lack of public transport access to alternatives with the remark ‘how people get to other libraries is down to them’. Disgusting.

Suggestion from @oliverjlewis that if Sanderstead library closes local residents (many of whom are elderly) could use a volunteer-run library in Selsdon, which is two miles and two bus journeys away. Library closures a result of reckless spending by @CroydonLabour. #CroydonLive

Looks like a decision has already been made to close Sanderstead library in its current form. It is the only council community asset in Sanderstead#croydonlive

Many public questions so far tonight on potential closure of five Croydon libraries - most about loss of Sanderstead
