Northfields Library is very well used by a wide range of local people.
The library is an integral part of the £2 million project to create a Children’s Centre incorporating the Log Cabin for children with disabilities, local Scouts and a nursery.
As it was refurbished at a cost of £610,000 in 2007, the library's closure would mean the expenditure was wasted.
The library is part of the overall plan for the adjacent Bramley Road Open Space, which is about to undergo a £200,000 re-development.
