Dear Tom and Alison
LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries) is devastated to hear of the serious damage to the iconic Glasgow School of Art, designed in Art Nouveau style by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We are relieved to learn that all staff and students are safe, but our thoughts now turn to the restoration of the building and in particular of the Library and its contents. The news is a disaster and our thoughts and hopes for the future are with all staff and students at the School at this most difficult time.
With kind regards,
Paul Ayris
On behalf of the LIBER Board
