If you desperately need an MMLL book during this time, you are welcome to email / ring the doorbell on the off chance that a staff member is in the library and can help - we cannot guarantee that this will be the case though!
Happy holidays to all☀️

A plate of stamps with magnetic backing. The stamps are from various countries around the world - many show cultural landmarks or natural features.
The plate of fridge magnets is shown in the MMLL Library foyer.
As you can imagine, the books we purchase for MMLL are shipped from all over the world.📦
We’ve recently started collecting the gorgeous stamps which arrive on these parcels in order to make them into magnets as a small Easter term freebie!

A parcel held in front of a plant in the MMLL Library foyer. There are 22 stamps of French landmarks and houses on the parcel.
Absolutely incredible stamp game on this recently arrived parcel at MMLL!

On a concrete pillar of the Raised Faculty Building, a poster in French reads “Après toutes les cages d’escalier sont enrobées de marbre noir. Smaller posters in English translation are superimposed on the French one.
On another concrete pillar of the Raised Faculty Building, a large poster in English reads “But it’s as if the description comes before the feeling”. A smaller poster in French reads “Mais c’est comme si la description passait avant le ressenti”.
A large poster in French on a pillar of the RFB reads “Quelqu’un a collé une affiche”. Smaller superimposed posters in French repeat the same words, and an English poster translates the phrase: “Someone has put up a poster”.
If you’re at the library today or tomorrow, have a break in the sun and check out the 48-hour installation Sur place & À emporter by Sébastien Hoëltzener and Nina Rendulić, co-ordinated by Prof Hugo Azérad.
A description of the installation can be found here: www.festival.cam.ac.uk/events/sur-p...
