Cambridge's Copyright Library

I mentioned in an earlier posting that I was looking forward to exploring the copyright library behind Clare College. 


I got my library card!


Inside, there were lots of mini-rooms, alcoves, and collections going back hundreds of years relating to books and music.










They also have separate gardens and a tea room!




In this particular room, they had annotated the names of famous English and Irish people with their writings, edicts, works of art or print, etc.


So, Maggie and I looked up a couple of names:

 


 The one that had a few pages was Nick's name!



 

We will have to go back -- there are sub-ground floors of books to explore -- with 2 miles every year of new shelving and books added each year, a person could spend a long time here . . . .

  1. So, in 1778 Mark was a poet. I guess he still is. I noticed that your library card expired on july 2013. Is that correct? How weird is that?

  2. That library is HUGE. They must have every book in the world. If you can't find it it doesn't exist.

  3. They start with the day, then month then year -- it expires in September.
