Communities fight back on National Library Day

Across the capital local communities have been fighting back against the cuts, demanding that their libraries stay, stating that they are a vital part of the local infrastructure. Brent is the latest council to act, where the 'SOS Libraries' campaigners have been refused permission to take the council to the Supreme Court this week.

Other campaigns around Kensal Rise and Preston are also struggling to win, but will continue to fight.
