Demonstrating their annoyance with Barnet Council for agreeing to shut the library, 16 supporters of Save Friern Barnet Library Group staged a five-hour-long sit-in.
More from the Save Friern Barnet library Group:
"It is with great regret and sadness that our hope to keep our much loved library open was ignored tonight at a vote on the libraries strategy by the Cabinet of Barnet council.
And despite over a year of us speaking up loud and clear to keep it open, our voices fell on deaf ears and cabinet swiftly voted it through to close it.
If you want to say goodbye to our library, residents at the meeting agreed to meet outside FBL at 3pm to say goodbye to FBL, when it's doors will close at 4pm. "
