London, UK. 9th April, 2016. Over a thousand campaigners led by the occupiers of the Carnegie Library march from there via the Minet library, also closed on March 31, to a rally at Brixton. The occupiers were forced to leave the Carnegie by an injunction obtained by Lambeth council. They object strongly to LB Lambeth's plans to replace community-based libraries by fee-charging gyms with just a token few books in an unstaffed lounge area. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
