Friern Barnet Library Update... a return visit

Filmed this the other day we popped in to see how the old library was doing, its ticking along with local voluntary support.New shelves and kids area is good.
But the council has still not delivered the 3 computers they offered 6 months ago, we still running on our 2 recycled machines.But we have broadband,rather than the wi fi phone system we operated during the occupation.
The lease is virtually signed for 2 years ,with one last confirmation needed on some insurance liability.
its been 6 months to get the lease signed,now we see how fast councils move (not).

Apparently the council is willing to give a slightly longer lease so we can get more grants.There has been a petition started to encourage them to hurry up and give a longer lease.
I just spent an hour on skype chatting to a library and occupation researcher for their PHD.

May put some of the transcript into the book we are writing.Launch date September 5th at the Liberated library.There is still 250 libraries in the UK to be closed or downgraded to voluntary.
Support your local library and services, occupy where necessary, love n resistance Phoenix
