Feminist Library gets six months
A FEMINIST library earmarked for closure was given a further six months by its council landlord yesterday after continuous protest from local residents.
The Feminist Library in south London has been threatened with closure since Southwark Council decided to nearly triple its rent last year.
But, thanks to thousands-strong petitions and demonstrations, the institution, which has been open for 30 years, can now stay at its Westminster Bridge Road premises until the end of October.
