Now, we like a challenge in the Library, but this donation had us "puzzled". A 500-piece jigsaw puzzle, with 175 pieces missing - including ALL of the edge pieces!!
Still, we got there in the end! 🧩🧩🧩🤔

Today is a special day for SSEES Library. Exactly 20 years ago today (15th August 2005) we opened at our current location in Taviton Street. The new @uclssees.bsky.social building was not quite finished, but that didn't stop us! 📚🥳🍾🎉🎈

Work on our new entrance gates is progressing well. However, the Library will need to remain closed for a few more days, for essential testing and commissioning to be completed. We look forward to welcoming users back on site from Monday 11th August.

A SSEES Library membership card from the 'good old days', when each ticket was countersigned personally by the Librarian, and the Library closed for two hours for lunch. 🍽️🥪
Just don't ask to borrow a book! 📚😆

Our latest Book Display marks the 500th anniversary of the German Peasants' Revolt - a series of uprisings that spread across German-speaking parts of Central Europe in 1525, due to economic, social and religious discontent.
All of the material has been sourced from SSEES Library collections. 📚📚📚
