This afternoon Wakefield Council has published a report which has added Crofton Library to the list of 14 Hub Libraries which will be secured and will safeguard the Library into the future, as well as a share of the £100,000 fund to improve books, computers and including e-books and Wi-fi.
Full details of the Council press release can be found at:

Full report here
I am delighted that this change has been made as in 2011 Crofton was not included in the list of Hub Libraries and therefore faced being turned into a satellite library to be run by volunteers or put into private hands.
A great Victory for people power in Crofton and many thanks to everyone and particularly the reporters on the Wakefield Express for bringing the information about the threat to our library to public attention.
