The budget for purchasing new material for the library continues to be bolstered by the proceeds from second hand book sales, however acquiring large numbers of books, to add to the steady trickle that we acquire continually through exchange and gifts from colleagues etc., had become impossible in recent months as shelf space had almost completely run out. During September however a number of bookcases on the ground floor were reorganised by Thomas Booker, resulting in the addition of fourteen new shelves’ worth of space.

As a result of Thomas' work we have been able to use the funds from book sales to purchase a great number of new books, all of which have now been catalogued and are available for consultation. A full list of titles acquired in the last few months is now available here.

Not only do we owe Thomas a debt of thanks for his hard work in the library but he also deserves our congratulations: Thomas recently passed his MA in Egyptian Archaeology at UCL with distinction, and was awarded the Margaret Murray prize for his efforts. Well done Thomas!
