Library Lobby Renovations 3!

We have some exciting news - the lobby renovations are almost complete.

We are due to return to the main entrance on the 3rd floor this Monday (25th September).

The library will be open as usual on Monday. However, since library equipment will be being moved throughout the day, there may be some disruption. We apologise in advance for this and thank you for your patience.

We will have some photos of our new lobby to share with you soon!

Library Filming

Our beloved library is taking on a starring role in a promotional film for the Hellenic and Roman Library appeal. The film will give a flavour of the library's collection and how it's used, and aims to raise funds to ensure the library continues to be an accessible, world-class research facility.

The filming will take place this Friday and Saturday (15th - 16th September).

The library will be open as usual while the filming takes place.

We want to show the library in all its functional glory and so if you happen to be using the library on these days, you may appear in the background (as an extra, if you will!). Anyone who features more prominently will be asked to complete a Contributor Release Form.

If you would prefer not to appear in the film, please speak to a member of staff or filming crew.

Finally, while we will try to keep disruption to a minimum, we apologise in advance for any inconvenience the filming causes.
