In the last two weeks of February the Reading Room was closed while the library and manuscripts teams carried out our annual audit and completed a reorganisation project in our offsite book store. I was part of the team working in the store, which involved putting around 15,000 books into correct shelf number order. We also cleaned and resized all the shelves so that we could seperate small books from folios.
Here's some photos to give you a feel for what we did.
