Dear All
You may have already received this through other channels but the BFI has set out plans for their future. See
http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/85
Of most interest is likely to be the proposals for the BFI Library, which will see a much reduced service offered at BFI South Bank and the majority of holdings held at Berkhamsted, which is home to the BFI National Archive. So there will be a BFI Library in the future, but not as we know it.
Expressions of concern or despair can be directed to the chairman Greg Dyke ([log in to unmask]) or director Amanda Nevill ([log in to unmask]).
Having just received the renewal of my BFI membership card through the post this very morning, and as the library is the part of the BFI I most care about, I'll be exploring avenues for obtaining a refund.
Best
Paul
