A spokesperson said: "The local community were eager to sign, and very vocal on losing their library service.
"One lady wheelchair user, said that she was a regular library user, and was also concerned regarding the possibility of losing the only accessible toilet in Corringham town centre.
"Two young lads told one of the volunteers that they use the Library every evening and most weekends as the say that they feel safe in the library doing their homework".
