BBC TV news End of Friern Barnet Library occupation 5 Feb 2013 Begin Save ALL Libraries campaign.



BBC report on Library. Intresting always how things are cut and edited, spun round, into Big Society,bullshit.
We've been asking for buildings and squatting  them to run buildings voluntary for 20 years since 1992 Rio Earth Summit.As one local said theirs nothing wrong with voluntary work, but we do reiterate our constant call in the campaign for a proper library service and paid librarians.Volunteer libraries cannot replace the proper library service.We were pushing in negotiation with the council for enough funds for  a paid librarian.
We were told take the deal or we evict you on wednesday.Most of the community meeting wanted to save the local library.It could have been just another eviction in the 20 year quest for community space we have been on.

There is no new Big society blah, squatters have been doing it DIY culture autonomous spaces for decades.
Some said this was the end of one chapter and another was about to begin for the Library that would not close.

I thought of a name for the next chapter Re OPEN all the libraries campaign (with paid librarians)begins.
Another idea was can someone add up how much it would cost to save all the libraries (UK UNCUT maybe)
then we could go ask a corporate tax evader if they wanted to pay up to save the Libraries for the kids.Innit.
This is just the beggining........what happened to the 2 million books..........from the 250 libraries........pulped or burned like the Walthamforest library books.......Book burners beware your time is up.......
