Staffing a historic library happens in a variety of ways - here's one journey to us with our current Sub-Librarian and Special Collections Librarian @AinonenT
We are delighted to see one of our 9thC manuscripts displayed in the remarkable 'Silk Roads' exhibition at @britishmuseum
The display features an added incense recipe from 10thC England. A collective College effort recreated it in our Chapel!
