Cambridge Open Libraries, Friday 10-Saturday 11 September
September 7th, 2010News; Jason Scott-WarrenComing up on Friday and Saturday of this week: Open Cambridge, which allows Cambridge residents and visitors to see parts of the University and the Colleges which are normally closed. A key part of the event is ‘Open Libraries’, which this year will see 16 College and Departmental Libraries opened to all comers. Participating libraries include the old and beautiful (St John’s, the Wren at Trinity, the Parker at Corpus Christi), the comedic (Lucy Cavendish College will display material from their Joyce Grenfell archive) and the criminal (the Radzinowicz Library at the Institute of Criminology will display some of the letters of John George Haigh, the Acid Bath murderer).
The Open Cambridge website is at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/opencambridge/ and the Open Libraries are listed at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/opencambridge/libraries.shtml. The Open Cambridge weekend has been organized by the Community Affairs team in the University of Cambridge Office of External Affairs and Communications.
Open Libraries, which is happening this coming weekend (10 and 11 September?). Open Libraries is a strand of the Open Cambridge weekend organised by the Community Affairs team in the University of Cambridge Office of External Affairs and Communications. The purpose of Open Cambridge is to allow Cambridge residents to see bits of the Colleges and University that are normally closed. Open Libraries sees several (this year it's 16) College and Departmental libraries opening to all comers during 10 and 11 September, and while the focus of the event is on the general Cambridge public, I thought that the libraries might be of interest to CMT members?
