On Saturday I went to the opening of Brent Libraries first Romanian book collection at Willesden Green Library (also in Romanian). Cllr Tom Miller made an excellent speech emphasizing Brent's diversity and our continuing welcome to Romanian people despite the Brexit vote.
Some parts of the countries have seen a rise in xenophobic prejudice as a result of the Brexit referendum, and Romanians have been particularly targeted by the likes of Nigel Farage. Having a Romanian book collection is a practical symbol of how these are not our values.
