In October 2010, The Byam Shaw Library was due to close. Because of immediate response by staff and students, the library space stayed open to operate as a self-organised resource. From October 2011 a co-op is being established to expand the community that maintains and programmes the reading room.
* Quiet afternoon reading hours (2–5 pm): thinking, reading, writing, invigilating…
* Lunchtimes and evenings: discussions, launches, readings, performances, archivings, reading groups, political rallies, talk shows…
All CSM staff and students are welcome.

I found the meeting on 5th really promising and this seems like an incredible space/place to both work on, and within.
