Citizens Defending Libraries rallying with the Committee To Save The New York Public Library on May 8, 2012, the day of the NYPL's Trustees meeting.  Approximately 200 protesters gathered starting at about 2:30 PM and continuing through to about 6:00 PM, covering at the demonstration's peak all three entrances to the library while some entered and attended the trustees meeting at which NYPL president Anthony Marx incorrectly told the trustees that the demonstrators had rejected offer to meet with the NYPL about the Central Library Plan.  He was corrected and later apologized, in part.
