I am retired and rely on the library as a reason to get of the house. I don't always take books out but read in the library and would be very sad if the library closed.

Everyone should have to pay more taxes to keep such crucial services going.

Those in work should be given the opportunity to pay more tax direct from their wages or as Council Tax.

Please, don't close it...

It provides excellent services for the needs of the community. As a mother with two young children, the library was a lifeline when I was on maternity leave. The proximity of this library to my home in comparison to Thornton Heath has meant that my children can access a local resource without using my car to take them.

Whilst I recognise the need for cutbacks in public services, the needs of the community are paramount.
