Reading room changes

By Vanessa Freedman, on 26 September 2016

Welcome back to all returning students and staff! Empty space in the reading room

You may be wondering why there is a large empty space in the Hebrew & Jewish Studies reading room. It’s not a dance floor or space for a ping-pong table (as some people have suggested); we are waiting for the delivery of some new tables which will create 24 much-needed extra study spaces. To make space for the new tables, most of the Yiddish collection has moved into the adjacent corridor.

Here are the new locations:

  • HEBREW books: reading room (encyclopaedias and other reference books are on the shelf nearest the door)
  • HEBREW periodicals: reading room (end of the book sequence; recent issues are on display racks near the door; the Jewish Chronicle is on the side wall)
  • YIDDISH books: corridor
  • YIDDISH periodicals (except newspapers and recent issues): corridor (end of the book sequence)
  • YIDDISH newspapers: reading room (side wall)
  • YIDDISH periodicals, recent issues: reading room (on display racks near the door, with HEBREW periodicals)

Yiddish collection 2If you have problems finding anything, do ask a member of staff.

Wishing you a great year and a shanah tovah u-metukah.
