The Council's plans to close the six libraries is stupid and careless. The libraries are so popular with children, the old, adults and teens. Resources and facilities are popular and helpful. Librarians are friendly and helpful. The Council should not be closing the libraries as it will be the end of access to many things. We will do everything in our power to save our libraries.

The Town Hall Library is the library I mainly use, but when this is moved to the new Civic Centre, Preston Library would be the only other conveniently located library i.e within walking distance. Schoolchildren, the elderly, unemployed and disabled will be seriously affected by the removal of Preston Road library.
Serious consideration should be given to other methods of savings, reductions in opening hours and staffing levels.

At present I mainly use the Town Hall Library, but when this is moved to the new Civic Centre, Preston Library would still be within walking distance. Likewise this applies to many people, such as schoolchildren, the elderly, unemployed and disabled.
Serious consideration should be given to other methods of savings, reductions in opening hours and staffing levels, as once closed, a library will never be re-opened.

It is well run, and altho' small, reflects and meets the diverse needs of its community on a human scale. The elderly, poor and very young will not be able to access the listed alternatives, and will be disproportionately and unfairly disadvantaged. Recognising the enforced need to make cuts, it is nevertheless cultural and social vandalism to close local libraries. They are civilised and civilising community hubs.

It is an ideal place to go for quiet reading and have access to reading material. Other libraries are not within walking distance so closure would end my joyful pass-time. Yet another service which I pay for through the exorbitant council tax to be stopped. This borough is becoming increasingly unattractive - shouldn't be allowed!

The Council would be in breach of its responsibilities to its residents if it went ahead with the planned closures. There must be other ways to reduce expenses; a study of the Council budget by residents might highlight more suitable proposals.

A mega-library is not required.

Save cash by careful vetting of household improvements for aged individuals. They have short-term value.

Put the money where many people use the facility. Libraries for young and old and, for the elderly, residential care and day centres.

The library has been updated with computers and self takeout and return facilities. Is this cost to be thrown away? The library is very, very well situated with 3 buses passing just yards away. We can only drive to the Town Hall. Parking is very difficult. Elderly and disabled people may not be able to drive. This library serves our community very well.
