The British Council is planning changes to the way we operate in Europe. We will operate less as a cultural institute in Europe and more as a cultural relations partner with reduced number of walk-in information centres…. As a result of these changes the British Council will close its Information Centre in Tallinn in spring 2008. The Information Centre collection will be donated to a partner library, further details will be available as soon as negotiations have been finalised with the receiving institution. The work of the information Centre will continue as usual until the closure and we will offer you the full set of services we have been doing until today.

I’ve never been to the Information Centre, so I don’t have anything much to say on the matter, but I am glad that they’ll be arranging for their library to remain in Estonia. I’ve also never been to one of their cultural events, although that may be because they really suck at sharing the info. I received an email this morning about a British music video screening event tonight at KUMU (at 6pm). I prefer not to know than to know too late.
