We, the undersigned, are supporters of Rhiwbina Library, and the excellent staff who look after the library and assist visitors to the branch. The library is one of the busiest libraries in the City and is a much loved resource in Rhiwbina. Any reduction in the hours would be detrimental to the library and the community and we call on the Council to reject this budget saving.

I have been reviewing the comments left on this petition and the impact of the library on our daily lives remains clear. These testimonies highlight why maintaining current opening hours is essential for our community. I am currently preparing a formal submission to the Council to ensure these perspectives are presented during the budget review process.

The momentum behind this petition highlights how vital Rhiwbina Library remains to our daily lives. This clear consensus confirms that our community expects these essential hours to be preserved.

Please keep the library open. As pensioners we would be unable to travel to the proposed Llandaff North hub.

I have regularly used Rhiwbina Library for over 63 years and usually go there once a fortnight. Over the years I have also introduced my son to the benefits of using a library and have, myself, attended various classes held in their meeting room. If one is not a driver, how on earth are people from Rhiwbina supposed to get to a new "hub" library in Llandaff North? It would take two bus journeys to get there and two journeys back to Rhiwbina taking, probably, at least a couple of hours. All this at a time when the bus frequency has been reduced, not to mention whether they run on time or turn up at all! It has been proved that Rhiwbina Library has the greatest footfall of all libraries except Central so where is the Council's sense in this?! PLEASE KEEP RHIWBINA LIBRARY OPEN.

We use the library every week and would be very sorry to see reduced hours. It is a wonderful addition to the community and vital to Rhiwbina.
