Here's my main but not all concerns if FH Library becomes a community library:

- If enough volunteers can't be found or just don't turn up then the opening hours will be reduced and at worst the library will close. As far as I'm aware Sydenham, Crofton Park and Grove Park nearly closed earlier this year as the holder of the lease who I believe is Eco Communities wished to return it, and New Cross is currently displaying posters threatening closure if more volunteers can't be found.

- How will this effect vulnerable people such as kids, people with learning difficulties, disabled people and the elderly. It worries me that volunteers may have access to sensitive confidential information, and how do we know that the volunteers are responsible people.

- The local kids use the library after school for many reasons including doing homework, revising for exams, using books and texts for research. What will happen if they go to the library and it's closed and their parents are not back from work yet?

Community libraries don't seem to be working in the borough as lending has gone down by at least 50% at all community libraries and in some cases 70-80%.
