Mark Twain museum joins calls to save Kensal Rise library

The Guardian reports: http://bit.ly/SnLSvF Jacques Lamarre, the Mark Twain House & Museum's director of communications, has written to Brent council, and to ministers Ed Vaizey and Jeremy Hunt, begging them to reconsider the closure of the library in Kensal Rise Library: http://bit.ly/LJNRXq In an unexpected gesture of generosity, Jacques has also promised, on behalf of the Mark Twain House and Museum, to personally travel to Kensal Rise with another five books to donate at the re-dedication of this "irreplaceable institution", if it is reopened. I am extremely grateful to Jacques and the Mark Twain House & Museum for adding their voice to the chorus asking for Kensal Rise Library to be reopened, and I hope that his request reaches the Fellows at All Souls College who are the only ones with the power to grant this request.
