"CAMPAIGNERS handed in a petition to Barnet Councily yesterday, in a desperate bid to save a much-loved library from closure.
"The petition has been signed by more than 2,000 people, who argue the closure of Friern Barnet Library will affect the most vulnerable people in the area, as well as detriment hundreds of children’s literacy levels.
"Kim Lee, 18, of Lewes Road in North Finchley helped set up the Save Friern Barnet Library campaign. He said:
"I have grown up with this library – It’s helped with my learning, through school, and through college. "It has all the resources you could need like newspapers, magazines and revision books and the staff are really friendly."
