Oscott are very lucky to have 2 Libraries with in its boarders one at each end. These Libraries Kingstanding and Perry Common are excellent facilities run by friendly and knowledge staff.
In these times of cutting front line services we need to be on guard to protect our libraries. Some changes are almost inevitable given the drastic cuts being imposed on our Council by the government, but here in Oscott Both Councillor Barbara Dring and I are known for our support for our libraries and we will fight for them.
Last year for example we helped through Community Chest funding, for the Perry Common Library to have a refit.
It should also be remembered that both our libraries are well used by residents from neigbouring wards. Everyone should in my view rally round and use our libraries as much as possible.
Libraries are not just about books for example
The Kingstanding Library, situated on the Kingstanding Road at the Circle will be hosting an arthritis information day this coming Monday March the 28th. The event will take place between 14:30 to 16:30 and is being hosted by the Birmingham Arthritis Resource Centre.
