Hundreds hold 'silent' protest over library closures
Around 250 people haven taken part in a 'Big Shh' flashmob at a Sheffield library to protest over closure plans. Campaigners fell silent at 11am at Walkley Library to coincide with other protests at libraries across the city.
They also signed letter to councillors asking them to vote against proposed closure of local services
"We want all the local libraries to stay open under council control, they are vital for the local community, running events such as parent and toddler story times."
