Arbury Court and the other libraries (Barnwell, Milton Road and Rock Road) provide very valuable services to many local people, many of whom are unable to travel to access the Central Library. Failing to protect these vital community services would result in enduring deficits, to the lasting shame of the County Council.

Removing the professionally run Arbury Community Library would just reinforce the misconception that Arbury is a bad area. Additionally, children and adults benefit from the library. It helps to significantly elevate the level of literacy of the people in the community. It also helps keep petty crime down by keeping otherwise idle people occupied.

There are a number of schools and nurseries in the area who are helped in their task of educating young children by having the library close to their schools etc.

Also my daughter and two young grandsons like to go there after school because the childrens section is particularly good and I think many other parents and grandparents feel the same.

It is well used. It is adjacent to two school whose pupils find it invaluable. In fact they could do with some more computers as when I went last week, there were people waiting to use them. It is an excellent place for families to visit and the children's section is ideal.

It runs activities for all ages and is at the heart of the community. It is wrong to say that we live in a society that can not support libraries. We should not have to pay for the bankers crisis with our services.
Dont use our books to ballance the bankers books!

It is essential it is run by professional staff with the necessary expertise.

Also the people living at Orchard Park will need to use the facilities as there is nothing else that is nearer.a

Not everyone can go to the Central library for these on a regular basis!

]]> Wed, 14 Jul 2010 10:57:58 UTC 8144375 Ms Michelle Spratt [Signature #22] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8143819?utm_medium=rss Surely one of the aims of a libary service is to offer increased chances to those who may not be able to travel into town. Parking in Cambridge is astronomical in cost, and the 'Park & Ride' still carries a £2 charge.
The local library for families is essential in encouraging children to read independently and is a valuable community link. Parents need to be able to just take their children to the library as a matter of course; not just as a once a month special treat.

Without a local library many children will not have the early opportunity to enjoy books.

Cambridgeshire should provide a full library service as part of it's basic service to it's residents. A volunteer run service cannot provide the same level of knowledge and expertise as professionally qualified and experienced library staff. Closure of this service in one of the most deprived wards in the city would have a negative impact upon the education and lives of the poorest residents.
