End of the Carnegie Library occupation in Lambeth, UK

London, UK 9th April 2016: Campaigners against the closure by Lambeth council of Carnegie Library in Herne Hill, south London, emerge from the premises into the street on their 10th day of occupation, 9th April 2016. The local community have been occupying their important resource for learning and social hub and after a long campaign, Lambeth have gone ahead and closed the library's doors for the last time because they say, cuts to their budget mean millions must be saved. They plan to re-purpose it into a gym although details are unknown.
