We are very pleased to announce that we are taking part in the annual Open Cambridge event for the first time this year.
The event allows members of the public to gain exclusive access to and insights into libraries, museums, gardens, and many other University institutions (as well as many non-University ones in Cambridge!). There are tours and drop-in sessions available, some of which do require booking.
We thought it would be great to be able to open our doors to the public, who may have always wondered what the inside of this centrally located building is like having walked past it several times! On Saturday 11th September we are giving a one-hour, bookable tour, to show visitors how the library is used by students and members of the department for their teaching, learning, and research needs. We will also have a selection of items from our special collections on display - this is very exclusive, as we do not have space to show these off within the library at present. If the tour proves popular maybe we can deliver some more next year.
The event takes place on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th September, culminating in the Bridge the Gap Charity Walk on Sunday 11th.
For more details of what's on please see the Open Cambridge website at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/opencambridge/ Bookings now open.
