We’re looking for a senior major gifts fundraiser for Cambridge University Libraries. Perfect for someone who loves libraries, research and working with donors. https://t.co/x2qWDfVfKK

[Cambridge University Library @theUL]

We’ve created a guide for new and returning University of Cambridge students, including online resources, top tips, skills training, tours, collections, and what’s new this term.

If in doubt, ask a librarian. We'll either know or we'll know how to know!

We’ve got a beautiful exhibition full of beautiful things opening tomorrow @theUL. The team have done a fantastic job. I’m sorry Thomas Van Erpe’s collecting career was cut short by the plague, but I’m really glad his collection ended up here!

[Cambridge University Library @theUL]

Endless Stories opens tomorrow at Cambridge University Library!
The exhibition showcases the extraordinary manuscripts collected by 17th-century visionary, Thomas Van Erpe – including works in Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Malay.

[Cambridge Assistant Library Staff Forum @ALSFcam]

ALSF is nearly here and there's so much to look forward to!

ICYMI: As DCMS figures show local authority spending on public libraries fell by 47% in real terms between 2009/10 and 2022/23, Arts Minister Chris Bryant (@RhonddaBryant) warns, "We cannot shy away from the challenges that libraries have faced."

@CamLibResearch @CamUniLibrarian @theUL @dustshoveller @uofglibrary Ah excellent library knowledge @CamLibResearch! I would expect nothing less. I suspect Glasgow is higher then, since our ceiling height is low on so many floors. But I can’t seem to find a height for Glasgow via google so there’s hope!

[Laura Greenfield @LauraVNG]

My kids want to know if I work in the tallest library in the UK! Does anyone know if @theUL the tallest?
