*** apologies for cross-posting *** Dear colleagues, The city government of Cologne in Germany is planning to close down the renowned 'Kunst- und Museumsbibliothek' (KMB) in the very near future! On the 22nd of May 2003 the city council will decide what will happen with one of the biggest art libraries in Germany. The Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Kunst- und Museumsbibliotheken (AKMB) has set up a German focus-webpage on their site to give more information about all this, http://www.akmb.de/web/html/fokus/kmb.html The Art Library Society of Flanders/Belgium (OKBV) took the initiative to set up a temporary support-site so that people can also react individually to these plans. By signing the on-line petition, you can support this art library and send some encouragement to the people working there: http://users.pandora.be/okbv/supportKMB/petition.htm Kind regards, Beatrice De Clippeleir, chair of OKBV Saskia Scheltjens, secretary of OKBV Art Library Society Flanders/Belgium - Overleg Kunstbibliotheken Vlaanderen (OKBV) www.okbv.be
