Residents to manage third borough library

摘要

Camden LBC has agreed to hand over a third library to community groups in the borough, in order to help protect services. The local authority has approved plans for Primrose Hill Community Association to take over management of Chalk Farm Library, just weeks after giving the green light to similar plans for two other libraries in the north London borough. Under the plans, the libraries will be independent and self-governed, although they will receive initial funding from the council to help get them started. 'This just shows how Camden residents are willing to step up and help,' said cabinet member for culture, Cllr Tulip Siddiq.
