The people of Friern Barnet are determined to fight back. In scenes reminiscent of the Occupy movement, they have set up their own library. And they plan to return each week, with more books, and more support, until their anger is heard.

On April 5th the library was closed and campaigners decided not to take that decision lying down. Today we saw the first “pop-up library” outside the closed building, where local people donated books, cakes, teas and all sorts, all of it available to loan for free.
