Apologies for cross-posting
The Committee of the Historic Libraries Forum would like to draw attention
to the British Museum’s proposed plans for the Round Reading Room, as
detailed in the national and local press.

Temporary listed building permission has been sought by the Trustees to
convert the Reading Room into a temporary exhibition space to accommodate
aspects of the forthcoming China exhibition, September 2007 to April 2008.
The Committee is still considering its response, but concern has been raised
that this may represent the beginning of the end for this historic space.
