A small, noisy and very passionate crowed gathered outside of London Metropolitan University on Holloway Rd,(Thursday 13 Sept) awaiting the arrival of the selection committee who would be making the decision on the future of the women’s library.
London Met have stated previously that they would be prepared to hand over the keys of the building to any bidder who was able to keep the books, building and staff together.
The campaign to save The Women’s Library say London Met have been lying to its stakeholders, staff and users of the library. London Met has moved the goalposts, from talk of transfer to high rent.
The Heritage Lottery funded building was specially designed for the women’s library collection in 2002; it is a cultural hub for local women, researchers and students.
Today’s demo was called by Save The Women’s Library to demand that London Met re-opening the bidding process, stop the lies and to stop staff redundancy, but over-all save this irreplaceable library.
