"Saturday 4 February was officially 'National Libraries Day'. Despite
the cold weather our local community came out to support us, and we were
all welcomed inside the warm library, and the children enjoyed a number
of games and activities.
"Boyd
Tonkin, Literary Editor for The Independent attended our event, and
discussed his enjoyment of reading through many of the stacks of books
inside when he was a child in Friern Barnet. We all really appreciated
him taking the time to visit and talk to us, and we would like to thank
him his support."

"After the march, and some speeches outside the library, including from councillors Barry Rawlings (Labour) and Kate Salinger (Conservative, but opposing her group's plan to close the library), and Andrew Dismore (Labour's candidate for the Barnet and Camden GLA seat) we went inside the library to look around.
"There were activities for children, and some special guests were due later. But I ran home to process my pictures, which you can see here.

"It will be grotesque if this well-used library and true heart of the community is closed, bulldozed, and the land flogged off for a developer to build another anonymous block of flats or supermarket. Ask the locals!"
