Here’s your reminder to wrap up warm (like Owly) before you hit the Sidgwick Site today!🥶❄️

Watch the MMLL Library’s translation section grow!📚 To support the MMLL Faculty’s new series of lectures on translation, we’ve been busy all term adding titles to our new translation section! It can be found on the library’s first floor, just before the Spanish section.

The EFL takes #Halloween very seriously. 🎃 (Well, the staff member who keeps putting skulls in the Shakespeare room takes it very seriously💀🦇🕯️) So we wanted to put together some resources to help you celebrate Spooky Season in style! 🧵

#Medievalists, we know what you want. And while we are NOT saying that the EFL had ANYTHING to do with the digital manuscript restoration by @BLMedieval the week before Cambridge term starts, it *IS* a very happy coincidence and we think you should know about it. 💻📜🕯️📚

Happy #EuropeanDayofLanguages! We pretty much celebrate this every day at MMLL, but it’s always nice when the rest of Europe gets involved too!

Sat down with one of our brilliant @CaiusCollege students and the angels from @CaiusSchools for a modern languages subject deep dive... Tune in for A-level habits, the Year Abroad, and a spectacular display of professionalism when I forget whether or not we still teach Dutch👇

Other libraries on site will be open during this time - we recommend checking their opening hours online before setting out. Our email address (library@mmll.cam.ac.uk) will also be monitored intermittently during the closures - do expect a possible delay in response!📚
