Q:
Visiting the library long room has been a bucket list item for decades. After purchasing the Book of Kehls and Long Room ticket on the Trinity website you are presented with information about the restoration projects with videos of decanting the library. I am going to see an old library full of old books not empty shelves. Can anyone who has visited in March describe the state of the decanting? Do you think there will be any books will be on the shelves by early June 2023? I may cancel the visit. Appreciate your help.
A:
We went 4 days ago and about 20% of shelves were empty. It should be all empty in a few weeks.maube you could contact the college directly.
