Hello from #OrielLibrary to everyone visiting #OrielCollege today during #OxOpenDays!🌞📚👋
#library #sunshine #hello
Two old buildings at a right angle in front of a lawn with two long blue flags inserted into the lawn. A raised bed with large green foliage and white flowers to the right, and behind that a line of bicycles sits in front of one of the buildings. A blue sky with fine clouds above.

The Library Team is here today for any library-related queries you may have.
We'll be looking out the window at the rain... well, it is a bank holiday Monday in May.
Two ornate windows look out onto a lawn surrounded by medium sized trees, with a large light stone coloured building behind. In front of the window is a small line of books in different colours.

The Library is open 24/7 over the bank holiday weekend. The Library office is open as usual on Monday for any library related queries you may have. Photo of the Pantin Library entrance looking onto a sunny third quad taken today.
Monday we can't guarantee such a sunny view.

A large glass door looks onto a line of bicycles in front of a grassed area with buildings surrounding both sides of the grassed area. The day is sunny with shadows being cast onto the grass from the buildings.

A circle contains a photograph of a room with tables and chairs set out. The room has a fireplace with two colourful coats of arms amongst decorative plaster work in white. A decorative plasterwork ceiling is to the top of the circle, and an ornate wooden window is to the back with green curtains.

One building is made of a light stone with many ornate windows the other, which is attached to the light coloured building, is white and dark brown with larger windows.

A large open ornate window opens onto a small garden. Behind a tree is a large old building made of light coloured stone. The sky is blue. A bench is just outside the window with a raised bed, where there is a bike lent up against it. The paving stones are wet, indicating that there has just been rain.
