Long vacation hours and borrowing
The Library will be open from 9.15am to 5.00pm throughout the long vacation (from Thursday 13 June), and we welcome regulars and visitors to use the space during this period. Please look out for short notice of any unavoidable changes to these times via the hps-discussion list or our Twitter account (@hpslib). Undergraduates returning next year are welcome to borrow books for the vacation until Tuesday 8 October. The loan period for all other borrowers remains three weeks as normal. We'll be glad to receive renewal requests by email (hpslib@hermes.cam.ac.uk) if you'll be away from Cambridge and can't return or renew books in person. - Online exhibitions
