| So glad we now understand each other's view point, Holly.For library users working normal hours, Saturday is an important day. It is also the most popular day for weddings. As mentioned previously, the council can only claim use of the upstairs room a very few days a year as it is rented by an NGO. Years ago when this arrangement started it was because the council claimed it could not afford to install the legally required lift for the disabled (in public buildings). Personally I think the position and architectural period of the Octagon Room would command a much higher rent than Parr's Brentford Library, charming though it is. You then have to subtract admin,caretaking costs, cleaning,etc before and after and consider whether indeed it would make a significant contribution to the savings required from the library service - especially with only the entrance hall likely to be available. I hope readers of this thread have picked up the following: 1.Topic: E-petiition Save Brentford Library Posted by: RUTH GARNER Date/Time: 17/01/11 20:03:00 Please sign the e-petition to save Brentford Library go to http://petitions.hounslow.gov.uk/BrentfordLibrary/ Please encourage others to sign up quickly! 2.Topic: Read-in at Brentford Library Posted by: Jill Allbrooke Date/Time: 18/01/11 14:47:00 There are going to be "read-ins" at threatened public libraries around the country on Saturday 5 February. Would anyone care to join me in a read-in at Brentford Library? |
