Save Grove Library

I have been asked what can be done to save Grove Library, so here is some information.

As I reported previously, I arranged for the County Librarian to come along to answer questions at a Parish Council Meeting in December. At that meeting, it was agreed to hold a public meeting to discuss the issue and this is now arranged for this coming Friday 14th January in Old Mill Hall at 7pm - everyone is welcome.

It is also now possible to submit and sign e-petitions on the Oxfordshire County Council website. If you look here, you will find the current list of petitions, which all relate to saving libraries in Oxfordshire! There is not one for Grove (any volunteers?), but there is one for saving all Oxfordshire libraries. In order to sign or setup a petition, you have to register with your email address, but this is very quick and easy to do.

Around the country, there are also local library groups - see here - which includes our very own Friends of Grove Library (FRoG) that was formed by the community when the library was previously under threat. I would be interested if anyone wishes to help with this.
