A READ-IN protest at a Brent library due to close is a "do or die" situation, a councillor says.

The Lib Dem group are asking residents to show their support for Barham Park Library, in Harrow Road, at the event, which starts at 11am.

The centre is due to close as part of spending cuts by Labour run Brent Council.

Councillor Paul Lorber, leader of the Lib Dem opposition, said: “Obviously we are making people aware that it's a do or die type situation.”
