2000 miles to Athens on a bicycle

Jean-Pierre Adamson, one of our shelvers in 2008, is cycling from Britain to Greece where he will study at the British School at Athens. He is writing a blog of his adventures which you can follow at the link below.

We wish him best of luck, especially over the Alps and hope that there is a cold beer waiting for him in Athens!

New journal on Pompeii

The Joint Library now takes Quaderni di Studi Pompeiani. The first issue, 1 (2007), is now on the 'current' periodical shelves. It is published by the Associazione Internazionale Amici di Pompei.

Entry turnstile

On Monday the card reader on the entry turnstile (and the computer board underneath) was replaced. So far, it's working well.
You should find it much easier to come in now!
