London, UK. 30th April, 2016. Campaigners at Upper Norwood Library against the ending of this vital public service demand Lambeth council scrap its destructive plan to close ten libraries. The library, on the Croydon/Lambeth border and jointly funded, is being handed to the Upper Norwood Library Trust to run as a community hub. Pressure from protesters has led to the council agreeing to one member of staff for a transitional period, but the library currently has five professional staff. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
