Save the Women's Library

In March of this year London Metropolitan University's Board of Governors decided to find a new home, supporter or custodian for The Women's Library. If a new home or sponsor of the Library is not found by the end of December 2012, the University proposes to run the Library as a skeleton service, reducing opening to one day a week.

Royal Holloway Feminism Society decided to join the campaign to save the Women's Library and started off by realising a testimony  and a video to promote the cause.
