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

Please send this message to any other list that is relevant.

Kind regards,

Beatrice De Clippeleir, chair of OKBV
Saskia Scheltjens, secretary of OKBV
