The Council is proposing that 14 of the city's 27 community libraries are to close. The Council is calling on organisations to come forward to manage them. No details have been released about which libraries are to close but Burngreave is particularly at risk as one of the smaller libraries. In the recent Libraries review, local residents said computer and internet access in libraries is important.
Cuts to Libraries
- Burngreave Library
-
Burngreave Library could be under threat of closure under Council budget plans. Regular users of the library and its members of staff believe this would be a critical loss for Burngreave.
- Firth Park Library
-
Firth Park library is a modern, friendly place offering activities and services for the public and businesses to use. It is a very busy library, with multi-cultural users from small babies to the over 65’s.
- Six Book Challenge
-
Fancy a challenge? Join the Six Book Challenge at any Sheffield library and read six books before the end of May.
