The Birmingham City Council has confirmed that the library will remain under public operation. This result secures the institution as a truly communal resource for all residents. We must remain attentive to ensure this commitment is upheld in the years to come.

The council has yet to provide a formal response regarding the delegation of library operations to private firms. I am continuing to compile documentation that highlights the inherent risks of this privatization strategy for our community resources.

The momentum behind this effort proves that the public values accessible knowledge over corporate interests. Your dedication confirms that our library must remain a protected asset for the entire community.

Privatisation always ends in disaster. Look at what happens to the service quality when they start cutting corners to save cash.
WE PAID FOR IT!! Keep it public.
Libraries should belong to the people not some company looking to make a quick buck. Leave it alone.
its a library not a business. greedy council needs to wake up and stop selling off our city assets.
used this place my whole life. dont ruin it now.

Keep our libraries public. Private companies just want to squeeze every penny out of the staff and the books. Disgraceful.
