We would like to thank everyone who has signed, retweeted and supported the campaign to #SaveDWLibrary over the past few of days. The planned cuts will affect 50% of Library staff and will be detrimental to every student and staff member's Library experience @uniofleicester (1/2)
Please continue to sign and spread the petition to stop these damaging cuts to @UoLDWL and @uolsupport. We'll be back next week with further information and updates. 📢📢📢 tinyurl.com/SaveDWLibrary #NoOneIsRedundant #EveryoneIsImpacted (2/2)
