Detroit library branch closures ignite protests. (Detroit Free Press, 1/4/2012)
Excerpt: A group of local activists protested the closure of a Detroit city library branch Tuesday, calling it an integral hub in a neighborhood around 7 Mile desperate for havens.
About 18 protesters organized by the group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN) circled and chanted in front of the Detroit Public Library Commission's Lincoln branch at 1221 E. Seven Mile. In December, Detroit police arrested 10 adults and one child protesting the library branch's closure.
