Move back to South Block: Progress so far.
At last the library collection has been moved over from the North to the South Block and the library staff have been working hard to re-arrange the collection in the newly refurbished library area. This includes two converted seminar rooms with additional compact shelving and two converted library staff areas since the basement area (previously the lower reading room) is no longer available.
Painted ceiling room = New Common Room
New compact shelving / rolling stacks in one of the literature rooms
New library reception area / issue desk
New shelving for the epigraphy / papyrology section
Shelving for the archaeology section: This area was previously used for literature. Note the new lighting.
