Celebrating the University Library

I was given a most illuminating and inspiring tour of the libraries at the University of Buckingham on Monday morning by Peta Yates, the Librarian. And in case you did not know, anyone can become a reader at the library and use many of their facilities. There is much history to be see and some wonderful books to browse! There is also a local history collection that would be a goldmine for any local historians. Do go and see!

You can check out what books and journals etc they have here: https://buck.sirsidynix.net.uk

Meanwhile, here are a few pics of my visit.

What was the chapel at the Franciscan Nunnery on London Road 


Old law books (I think!)


Some graffiti from when it was the stables of the Bucks Yeomanry!
