Bloomsbury festival - Tour of Senate House Library Tower

You are invited to visit Senate House Library, in the iconic Senate House at the heart of Bloomsbury, to learn more about the printed, historic and digital collections. You will be able to view the flagship reading rooms with 1930s interiors designed by architect Charles Holden, and enjoy a guided tour of the current exhibition, 'Director’s Choice'. This exhibition accompanies the book of the same name, a personal selection from the Senate House collections by Christopher Pressler, Director of Senate House Libraries. It showcases thirty wonderful works: from miniature books to painted set designs, from a fifteenth-century music textbook via a Victorian book of valentines to a twentieth-century literary manuscript, and from books annotated by the great and the good to packs of telepathy cards. Each tour will last one hour, for a maximum of 20 visitors, and will be led by Jonathan Harrison, Head of Special Collections.
