As many of our followers will know, there have been some changes at ZSL Library & Archives. While Emma gets to grips with everything, we’ll now reopen on 17 February rather than next week.

Thanks for bearing with us, especially if you’re awaiting an email response.

Good luck to both Ann and Emma!

Today is my last day at ZSL after an amazing 33 years as Librarian. Happy to be handing over to Emma who becomes Acting Librarian but of course sorry to be leaving the wonderful collections and the fascinating people who use them.
