We call for high quality and accessible libraries for all Londoners. Libraries serve every section of the community and are cost effective. They are used by people of all ages, of all ethnic origins, and of all levels of education.
Libraries have an important role to play in lifelong learning, and in the drive for literacy.
Sadly in the last 30 years funding has been constantly cut so that opening hours, bookstocks, staffing, and numbers of branches have all be reduced. LLL asks for this deterioration to be reversed and for the Mayor and Greater London Authority and central government to take responsibility for the quality of London libraries.
