I went on a tour of Clare College organised by the university and a local council. The facilities look very inviting with subsidised cafes and bars. A pint of beer is £3 and the bar is run by students for the students. There is a nice community vibe to the place.

Very impressive library with lots of resources but the level of security seems a bit over the top. All bags have to be stored in a locker at reception making it difficult to take in any laptops or other materials useful for study.

The library exhibition on litery xrime Free with tickets, get these online, whilst small is worthy of the visit. With some wonderful exhibits and leaving crime readers with something to ponder. There is a coffee shop here too. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Truly impressive place to look at The library is one of the legal deposit libraries in UK, which means by law they can request a copy of any book published in UK. The corridor and the main hall of the library are overwhelming and stunning. However for the rest of the library they are rather disappointing with extremely low floor-to-ceiling height and very low amount of nature light. No an ideal place to study at

Dear lady at the reception desk, it is not great work ethic to put the blame on the visitors when you didn't properly focus at your work and your mistake is discovered. Next time when you inform a visitor to the library, you should remember to tell them what to do with their bags if they are too big. For that, you would probably have to be more attentive and see if the visitors have any bags at all.

Closed to the public unless you register days in advance, requires multiple forms of ID (didnt ask but wouldnt be suprised if foreign address ID cards are not accepted, private tour only for specific books without registration).
