Libraries = more than books 📖

They’re safe spaces 🛡️, lifelines 🧑‍🎓, community hubs 🏘️

Cutting them means cutting opportunity 🚫

Need a space for a meeting, class, or one-off hire? Our community studios are available across Sydenham, Manor House, Forest Hill, and Crofton Park libraries. Studio hire helps keep our community-run libraries open, as they rely entirely on funding and rentals.

💔 V22 artists today about the upcoming eviction.

Hackney council has an opportunity to support artists. The council must value the building fairly & allow V22 to preserve the character, history & community here.

Hello Bluesky! We have made an eXit from the platform formerly known as Twitter and managed to time it perfectly with a name change of our own. For updates on all Calico Libraries (formerly V22 Libraries) please follow us here.
