The Cage is no more

Alas, one of the Plant Sciences Library's most charming features is now gone.

The Librarian's Cage, wherein the current incumbent was ceremonially shackled by a masked official in velvet pantaloons and acanthus-embroidered tam-o-shanter from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm each weekday morning, has been demolished as part of the library refurbishment.

Here's a nostalgic view of things as they once were.


Because of said building works, the Plant Scis Library will be largely inaccessible from Monday 16 July until Monday 10 September 2012. Department members will be able to use the computer bays by entering from the Tennis Court Road end. Almost all books and journals are currently inaccessible, but may be retrievable at the builders' discretion later on.

Phone extension 33930 has been disconnected : please call Reception on 01223 333900 and leave a message.
E-mails to library@plantsci.cam.ac.uk may not be answered between Weds 25 July and Tues 21 August.
Please bear with us. The library will emerge from its plastic sheathing in September, lovelier than ever!
