Two libraries will be saved in Wirral but five are still at risk of closing. Five public toilets are also set to close.
It was confirmed by Wirral Council that nine libraries would close at the end of October as part of savings it made earlier this year to balance its budget. Seven libraries had the option to remain open if transfers to community groups and other organisations were successful.
Negotiations will begin with Pioneer People and St Stephens Church set to take over Pensby and Prenton Library if councillors approve recommendations next week.
