Decision expected over Sheffield library closures
A decision is expected today over the proposed closure of libraries in Sheffield. Protests have been taking place over planned changes to the service.
Hundreds join in library protest
More than 250 people visited Walkley Library in Sheffield as part of National Libraries Day and the campaign to prevent 15 local libraries being shut. Many took part in a 'Big Shhh' flashmob timed to coincide with a 'Big Shhh' in every library in Sheffield.
People also signed letters to councillors asking them to vote against proposed closures of the local services. Children took part in craft activities and storytime - and also did their part for the campaign to keep the library open, by shouting 'We love our library' on the library steps.
