During this period the Library will operate from 25 Southampton Buildings, formerly home to the British Library’s Science Reference Information Service. The building at 10 Portugal Street will close completely in September and building work will start in October, continuing for around eighteen months. The British Library of Political and Economic Science is undergoing a major redevelopment by leading architects Foster and Partners.

Within this edition of the newsletter there are sample pages of what it would look like with different designs. The feedback from the Annual General Meeting was that the ideas should be put to a vote open to all Coseelis members.
