Before the meeting supporter/rapper/actor/comedian local bloke Doc Brown sent this message:

Born and bred and broke in Brent, I doubt very much I could have become the voracious reader and professional writer that I became without the unlimited access to books I was granted by Willesden and Kensal Rise libraries as a youngster. My sister, the Novelist Zadie Smith reaped the same benefits. Please please please keep libraries for the community. Regards,
