In dead of night, London library stripped of books to circumvent anti-closure protesters.

From the Guardian:

Residents who for more than a year campaigned to keep the library open were alerted in the middle of the night that Brent council workers, backed up by police, were stripping the branch of books, furniture, murals painted in the 1930s and the plaque marking the opening in 1900 by Twain. The move follows the council's failed attempt to clear the library earlier this month, when they were stopped from removing books by protesters.
