are an independent group recently formed to represent library users
in Hackney. Membership is free and open to all.

Our
aims
We need a wide range of library users to join Friends of Hackney Libraries
because:
Library users need to have a say in the future development of
their libraries.
Hackney library service needs to know what we think about the
present state of libraries and our views on what to do to improve them
in the future.
Here
are just three of the groups objectives:
To be a part of the consultation process for all new proposals
by the library service.
To promote libraries as an integral part of the education system
in Hackney.
To ensure that all Hackney libraries are reaching the National
Libraries Standards set by the government.
Keep informed about issues affecting libraries in Hackney
We have an email group and a newsletter to keep people informed. We hold
regular meetings and make representations to councillors and the Council
about library matters.
Joining us
You can either become a supporter or a member - go to joining

There is no charge, so if you have any ideas on what you want to see in
our libraries, what you think we should concentrate on or even if you
just want to be kept informed by our newsletter and email list, please
join us.
