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. http://arts.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1819113,00.html http://www.scena.org/columns/lebrecht/060712-NL-past.html http://www.balppa.org/newsdetails.cfm?codeID=16090 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. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™ Messenger has arrived.
