Get involved

 

Below are some of the ways you can contribute to the campaign and show your love for Birmingham's libraries.

Write to your councillors

 

Please write to your councillors, Council Leader John Cotton & Cabinet Member responsible for libraries Saima Suleman, and your MP.

​

All the info you need to do that can be found here on our blog. We also have a letter template available here.

 

You can write to your councillors and MP using this handy website (opens in new window). Simply input your postcode and the site will walk you through the rest. Messages must be in your own words, but for inspiration, please see our latest guide to the council's proposals to diminish and reduce our library service.

The Consultation

 

Birmingham City Council is running a consultation to inform the future of the library service. Phase 1 ended in July 2024; we are now in the 'final phase' which runs until September 27 2024. Please read our guide to this phase here.

 

The consultation invites feedback on two options through a survey, in-person drop-in sessions in each library, and direct submissions via email. We urge you to reject both options. We explain why in our guide.
