Hebrew & Jewish Studies moves

We’re giving the Hebrew & Jewish Studies reading room a makeover this summer. We’re adding additional study spaces at the south end of the room  and installing 20 new PCs at the north end. The room will also get a new coat of paint.

 

The reading room is closed until around 2nd August while the building work takes place. Please ask at the Help Point if you need any books or journals from the room.

To make room for the new PCs we have moved some books and journals out into the adjacent corridor and into a new space at the north end of the corridor, next to Scandinavian.

We are still trying to decide what to call this area: the Jewish Studies lobby/vestibule/antechamber perhaps? Any suggestions welcome!

The new locations are:

• HEBREW REF: reading room (ask at Help Point while the room is closed)
• HEBREW A – Q: reading room (ask at Help Point while the room is closed)
• HEBREW R – W 6: corridor
• HEBREW W 6 (continued) – X: lobby
• HEBREW QUARTOS: lobby
• HEBREW FOLIOS: lobby
• HEBREW Periodicals: lobby (current issues are on display racks in the reading room; newspapers are also in the reading room: ask at Help Point while the room is closed)
• YIDDISH A – C 20: lobby
• YIDDISH C 20 (continued) – F: corridor
• YIDDISH QUARTOS: corridor
• YIDDISH Periodicals: corridor (newspapers are in the reading room: ask at Help Point while the room is closed)

Do ask a member if staff if you can’t find something
