Barons Court Library Closure ?

The fight to stop the proposed closure of Barons Court Library is beginning in earnest. The LETRA committee believe (bar one member), it would be a very poor decision to close the library. Local residents are angry that this action is even being considered. The library has been a hub of the community since its opening in the 1960's. Many of our members have used, met friends, worked for and been educated by this tremendous amenity. All age groups, have made use of its wide range of facilities and taken the staffs friendly advice, in using the services provided.

We urge all residents on the Lytton Estate to fill out the survey form, regarding the library services future, supplied at the library; it is also available online (see below).
