Campaigners protest at Sheffield library closure plans
Campaigners took to the streets in Sheffield today to show their support for the region's libraries.
The hour-long protest, outside the Central Library, was dubbed the "big Shhhhhhhush" as it culminated at 1pm with the age-old library refrain.
Labour-run Sheffield Council says it may have to close up to 14 of 27 community libraries unless it can get other organisations to take over branches, due to budget cuts.
