5 libraries might close in May. But between now and then community groups are being asked to bid to run services in those libraries that are scheduled for closure. So, it is a little soon to write them off entirely.

Details of the plans and of the bidders can be found on Sydenham Society website http://www.sydenhamsociety.com/2011/02/l...libraries/ and on Green Ladywell http://greenladywell.blogspot.com/2010/1...brary.html
