Alex Wheatle MBE, novelist

"It's outrageous that they’re thinking about closing South Norwood library. In these difficult times of growing unemployment and the stalling of our children’s education, it is even more essential that our libraries remain open.  Libraries offer safe spaces where the community can read, revise, research and educate themselves.  It is an act of cultural vandalism to close them."

"I would never have become an author if it hadn't been for my local library as
a child."
