Update on IICLO
In April I reported on the campaign conducted by our Japanese colleagues to prevent the closure of the International Institute for Children’s Literature in Osaka. At the time I sent the Governor of Osaka Prefecture a letter on behalf of IRSCL asking him to reconsider his decision. I’ve now received a letter from Mikio Mukogawa, Director of IICLO, who says that while the Governor of Osaka Prefecture still plans to close IICLO, the Institute’s future has not yet been decided, and discussion will continue into 2009. I’ll post more information as I receive it.
