Make the largest library in Europe - Birmingham - open 24/7

Petition Details

Birmingham is home to the largest library in Europe. Why are the main library opening hours restricted to six hours a day? Why can I never find a place to study? One would think that it would have sufficient study spaces for both students and members of the public. This is not the case.

Additional Information

I'm currently sitting on the floor typing up this petition because I'm furious that I cannot find a place to revise for my A level exams; let alone find a place to sit. I'm also running out of time... it's closing at 5pm.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Local libraries are the responsibility of your local council.

You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
