Just a reminder that Friday 15th August will be the last day the Library is open before it shuts for two weeks. It will close promptly at 6.00 pm.
We will re-open on Monday 1st September. Please note that although Senate House Library will remain open it will not be possible to return Joint Library books during this time. Please wait until we re-open to return books - the closure period will not be counted for any fines.

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!
