You can find all the Inner Temple Library’s news here, updated regularly so you never miss out on the latest developments.
A new issue of the newsletter is now available. This issue contains Saturday opening; some words from the Deputy Librarian who retired in March and our Graduate Trainee who left in March; visits to the Law Society Library and Archives and the Warburg Institute; The Jigaw Murders; New Acquisitions to our collections; an item for No-Tobacco Day, and two items from the Archives team.
A list of New Law Titles and Editions received by the Library between January to April 2025 has recently been published.
As a Graduate Trainee in the Library, you will help to provide and support a range of reader services to a professional standard. At the same time, you will be obtaining experience and training in a wide variety of duties relevant to the profession generally, and to legal libraries specifically. As such, this post offers an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in a busy law library prior to embarking on a postgraduate course in Library and Information studies.
