    TV has killed reading; government has cut local authority funding

    Great building though - next to Holderness Road Baths, if I recall.

    Petition signed.When the building is sold, which I am pretty certain it will be,I would hope that the facade is restored to its former glory and no alteration is allowed to be carried out on it.

    wait a minute, that place hasn't been a library for years.
    that is where East Hull Baths is, it's a swimming pool.
    The library is now near to where the Asda is.

    Been shut for yonks hasn't it?

    If they can't find a viable use for it as a commercial building, then I suppose making flats out of it at least ensures that the building is preserved.

    If it was in a decent site, it would make great flats, but it isn't, so they'll spend nothing on them.
