Meeting on the 17th December at Hendon Town Hall to discuss marketing the LIBRARY!!! If you can’t attend the meeting then either attend the ward surgeries http://barnet.moderngov.co.uk/mgMemberIndex.aspx?FN=ALPHA&VW=LIST&PIC=0or phone or email councillors to object to any decisions being made before the court hearing. If you phone, make sure it is at a reasonable hour and you are polite. This is a crucial time for the library and we need your help to lobby councillors leading up to the meeting and the court case. Let the councillors know how you feel about your library and why it is important for the community to have this resource in this building in Friern Barnet.

18/19th Dec - Court case @ Barnet Civil and Family Courts Centre. Address. St Marys Court, Regents Park Road, Finchley Central, London N3 1BQ

We are Community. We are Library. Expect Us!
