I was quite worried about this news, so I did a little
asking around, and I’ll post here the info I got.

Basically, the collection and staff will continue on
at a new location – somewhere where they’ll be
considered a research collection instead of part of a
branch (which I think is pretty good news). In the 3
or 4 years between the time they become a research
collection and the time they have to leave the current
building, they will continue to provide service at a
temporary spot not far from the current Donnell. They
continue to get support from the library
administration – so I guess the only things that are
changing are the building and the films now being part
of a proper research collection.

(and for what’s it’s worth – I’ve heard nothing but
terrible things about the building itself from
multiple people – so maybe it’s all good news)
