The Space for Reading in the Weston Library is a co-produced pop-up library open to everyone.
You are welcome to use the space for browsing the books, meeting friends, taking a break and just relaxing.
The Space for Reading is themed, often to connect with one of the current exhibitions in our galleries, and the theme changes twice a year. Books in the space are recommended by staff, volunteers and community groups, and the final selection is made by representatives from these different audiences. Inside each book you will find the recommendation from the person who chose it, so that the stories behind the choices are featured in the space.
The Space for Reading is also used by different community groups as a meeting and discussion space, and can be reserved on request. If you would like to use the Space for Reading as a group meeting space, please contact publicengagement@bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
