Earlier this month, Library-users emptied Stoney Stratford library of books in protest against plans to close it down. “Emily Malleson of Friends of Stony Stratford Library (FOSSL) added that she calculated that books had been checked out at a rate of around 378 per hour.

According to this story in the Guardian, Sarah Teather recommended similar actions to the Friends of Kensal Green library.

I’m looking for the story on the Guardian website………. I’ve found this article, Library campaigners plan court action over closures, but no mention of Teather or Kensal.
