We have been working for 4 years with a group of volunteers, at first, to try and save the library from closure and then to try and take on the former library building. Our aim is to set up a community library that can also act as a community hub to bring Rainhill Together again

That's the quietest collective "AGREED" I've ever heard at a council meeting! But then again closing libraries where our children's aspiration & inspiration is born and vulnerable people are supported by community, is nothing for the self proclaimed FAKE socialists to shout about

So nearly our Rainhill Library under @StHLabour controlled @sthelenscouncil Labour controlled Knowsley succeeded in their plans and the mock up Christmas card from 2015 reminds us of another statutory resource lost by Labour for future generations of children #protectyyourlibrary

Who is this person and why have they not supported our campaign and our fight to save our historic Rainhill Trials exhibition attached to our library. He understands how important our railways are and that we should value our heritage. Thank you

We know those families, some of us are those families. Closing our library was a bad decision in so many ways that you will come to acknowledge and regret @sthelenscouncil @kathodwyer @davidebaines @STHLibraries
@davidebaines thanks for closing our library by the way. People in Rainhill are accessing foodbanks and they do rely on the donated food from the Coop each week as well as the Coop foodshare through Longton Lane Primary but we guess you wouldn't know that about affluent Rainhill
