The removal of this service from this building severely impacts children, families and those with disability preventing them from accessing library services in our area. Residents of Holbrooks and surrounding areas have grave concerns regarding the proposed removal of the library from Holbrooks Community Care Association building on Holbrook Lane. This centre is accessible to all and offers children the opportunity to study after school, play, sing and dance in a warm safe space where they can learn and grow. The centre is a Sky digital hub with superfast broadband and access to Wi-Fi. There are internet laptops for jobs search and study and it has a fantastic community room for groups in the area. The centre offers knitting and crochet clubs, history groups, miniature makers club, men's matte group, poetry and creative writing groups and digital skills sessions with advice and information services to the community. The centre also hosts a community fridge which reduces food waste and supports hungry families in the area. The library should remain on Holbrook Lane which is easily accessible and open to everyone.
