What is ARLIS doing about the very serious threat to the Art department (and
other subject departments, including the Henry Watson Music Library) at
Manchester Central Library? If there has been anything on arlis-link, it has
bypassed me.
As I understand it, the departments are likely to be relocated, the
collections merged, and specialist staff redeployed. IAML-UK has formally
protested and has invited members to write letters to the Leader of the
Manchester City Council,
Richard Leese,
Town Hall,
Manchester
M60 2LA
and to copy their letters to Chris Smith.
There is great urgency; the critical Council meeting takes place on Monday.
