On 31 March, 2016 Lambeth Council closed the Carnegie Library for an indefinite period, but local residents refused to leave and remained in occupation for 9 days

When they left, following a court order, they marched to Lambeth Town Hall accompanied by a thousand supporters

This became national and international news

2pm refreshments, 3-4:30pm Reunion

All welcome!

If you were there, share your stories, photos and souvenirs - if you weren't, come and find out what happened!
