We the undersigned oppose the cuts to library services in Sheffield. A well-funded library service is an integral part of a functioning democracy, providing access to information for ALL. Cuts to opening hours, decline in book stock, lack of new equipment and increased workloads for library workers reduce the capacity of the service to meet the needs of the community. We recognize that cuts to libraries are part of a wider, equally destructive and unnecessary attack on public services.

We call upon our elected representatives to lead a campaign to stop these proposed cuts.
