A rare and wonderful thing happened today - the music librarian was let loose in the Wardrobe Department. In 28 years, this was a first. (To be fair, she never asked before!) We needed a dummy, you see, and a Regency gown - to enhance our display of costume-making books. Do take a look - this is just a tiny selection from the attractive and informative costume books from the Whittaker Library, and we hope they'll appeal to some of our new students who'll be arriving in just a few weeks' time.
The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland is on two sites in Glasgow, the original one in Renfrew Street, and the other at Speirs Locks in Garscube Road. Our Library is in Renfrew Street, but we hope our costume and production students will find time to come and see what we've got, because the drama librarians have gathered these materials together over many years, and there's something for everyone- from beginner dressmakers, to would-be Sewing Bees. We also have a weekly book-fetching service on Fridays, so staff and students can request books to be delivered to Speirs Locks.
No, the Book Drop Box is not missing
.
It's 'Boxing Day'!
Every Friday morning, our Client Services team bring a book drop box to Speirs Locks so staff and students can return library materials.
At the end of the working day, the box and its contents return to the Whittaker Library. A simple and effective solution saving time for those who are busily doing other things 'up the road'.
Make the box feel loved and cared-for - use that box!
Tweet a picture of the box if you see it, and let's make sure everyone knows it's there. (Don't worry - the original box remains at the Whittaker Library. No-one misses out!)
