5. AOB
- London Metropolitan University is seeking a new home for the much-loved Women’s Library as a cost-cutting measure, or reduce opening times to one day a week if a new home or sponsor cannot be found. The Women’s Library has hosted some wonderful zine fests, and will be sorely missed if these plans go ahead. Spill the Zines will be writing a full blog post about this soon; in the meantime, you can sign the petition to keep the Women’s Library open here.
