Reading room changes
By Vanessa Freedman, on 26 September 2016
Welcome back to all returning students and staff!
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)
If you have problems finding anything, do ask a member of staff.
Wishing you a great year and a shanah tovah u-metukah.
