Rainhill Community Library Hub

We have been working for 4 years with a group of volunteers, at first, to try and save the library from closure and then to try and take on the former library building. Our aim is to set up a community library that can also act as a community hub to bring Rainhill Together again

What a special week! A great week with great children, memories that will last forever. #Y6areyoureadyforthis 🧗‍♀️🤿

That's the quietest collective "AGREED" I've ever heard at a council meeting! But then again closing libraries where our children's aspiration & inspiration is born and vulnerable people are supported by community, is nothing for the self proclaimed FAKE socialists to shout about

@KateS4Rainhill @ParishRainhill @Tasker4Rainhill @Donna4Rainhill Sorry Kate we were too busy playing @StHelensLabour cabinet justification BS bingo. Shame on @sthelenscouncil allowing this to happen and after 4 years as the cherry on this steaming pile of c??p isn't it time Chief Exec @kathodwyer was answerable for bad decisions on her watch?

The loudest actions are often the ones done in silence. RIP 6 St Helens Libraries. @RainhillLibrary @ParishRainhill @Tasker4Rainhill @Donna4Rainhill

Watch from 4pm @sthelenscouncil @UKLabour led Cabinet live vote to close our library after a stream of platitudes and well rehearsed speeches pleading that it's not their fault👇 sthelens.public-i.tv/core/portal/we… @STHLibraries @sthelensstar @Tasker4Rainhill @Donna4Rainhill @KateS4Rainhill

So nearly our Rainhill Library under @StHLabour controlled @sthelenscouncil Labour controlled Knowsley succeeded in their plans and the mock up Christmas card from 2015 reminds us of another statutory resource lost by Labour for future generations of children #protectyyourlibrary

Absolute pleasure to meet @jmimperato from @WatkinsandGunn today. Well done to everybody involved with our group from @rainhillcivic @ParishRainhill @AvcHowitt @KateS4Rainhill @Donna4Rainhill

Who is this person and why have they not supported our campaign and our fight to save our historic Rainhill Trials exhibition attached to our library. He understands how important our railways are and that we should value our heritage. Thank you

Leave it to Labour to invest in our kids? Leave it to Labour to close our library more like. @Tasker4Rainhill @Donna4Rainhill @KateS4Rainhill
