She loved storytimes (we were lucky enough to be around when this was a weekly event, which was well-attended and was sorely missed by many when it went monthly), and she loves borrowing books (as we all do).

Having our own library in Friern Barnet really enhances our community, and having to go to Finchley just won't be the same at all. Closing our library will remove something invaluable from our community and make us poorer.

It benefits those who, with all the current cuts and rise in everyday costs, would not otherwise have access to books, dvds, computers, etc. Closure of libraries will impoverish us all and end a long and wonderful tradition that tends our minds and our souls.
