Imperial War Museum Library faces closure - Petition.

[Rover]

The Imperial War Museum’s Prospect union branch today launched a petition calling on the government to reverse a £4m cut in annual funding, which has left it facing the closure of its unique library and the loss of 80 jobs, just months after the fanfare of IWM London’s reopening following a £40m refurbishment.

The move comes as the museum – the world’s leading authority on conflict – plays its part in marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War
