UPDATE: the Book Storage Facility is closed due to worsening weather conditions, so we won't have a book delivery this afternoon either. We're sorry for the disruption - any live stack requests are now expected to arrive on Monday.
Your hardy library crew have battled the blizzards of Oxford to make it in today, so we are OPEN as usual! However, there will be no morning stack delivery.
Keep an eye out for further updates in case of worsening weather.

Looks like we have ourselves a comedian, ladies and gentlemen...
Unfortunately, readers can only leave books on our Reservation Points overnight, and not for 2,500 years, so this one's going back on the shelves. Sorry, Pindar.
ALT Paper slip in book reads 'Overnight Reservation Slip for books from this floor only. Today's date: 5th century BC. Name: Pindar.'
A shout out to the Online Egyptological Bibliography, created by our colleagues in the Griffith Institute.

Hey mothership, we're not getting any success clicking on that link. Are our computers at the Sac borked, or is it a dodgy link?
If you think we're going to copy everyone else and post a snow video then 100 points to you! ❄️
(this is not our first snow gif, but this time we didn't have to fake it! 😁)
Ah, January. The month when we all enthusiastically embark on an overambitious exercise regime...
...all except our shelving staff, who already get a fantastic workout running around the library putting things back where they came from!
