The Macmillan Brown Library is closing at 4:30 this Friday ( 29 October) in order to hastily prepare the Reading Room area for the first of the month long events celebrating the 75th anniversary of John Macmillan Brown’s bequest to the University. Friday’s event is to formally acknowledge the recent donation of JMB’s own Venetian Grotto Chair to the University and features a floor talk by the postgraduate Art History student Bryany Joslen, who is just completing her internship with the Library.
