The University Library is holding a series of Pop Up Library events at the Main Library, George Square, for the next 8 weeks. All sorts of info sessions will be taking place to promote different aspects of the many diverse services and collections that the University Library offers.
There will be two sessions on ECA-related matters: a pop up hands-on session on the ECA Artists’ Books collection, at 3.00pm – 4.00pm on Monday 3rd November, and a more general session on what the ECA Library can offer you, at 11.00am – 12.00 noon on Thursday 6th November.
There are dozens of other sessions throughout the Pop Up Library season. These include sessions on the Centre for Research Collections, the University Art collections, the musical instrument collections, and all aspects of services and collections of the University Library. The sessions will be a chance for you to meet library, archive and museum staff from the University, to chat about the collections and services, and to find out more about what it is like to work with and care for the amazingly rich and diverse collections that the University Library holds.
