Have you always wanted to know more about the Fisher Library’s vast and diverse holdings? Or maybe you’re curious about our staff? 

The Fisher has lauched a brand-new video podcast series titled Between the Pillars. Every second Friday, at 12:30 pm, we live stream via the Fisher’s YouTube Channel a short conversation – around 15 or 20 minutes – between a staff member from the Fisher and John Shoesmith, the library’s Outreach Librarian. The conversations, filmed in the library – between our large pillars, naturally – are casual and relaxed, and based around a particular theme that will showcase many of the library’s treasures. 

Don’t worry if you happen to miss the live stream. We’ll be posting them all on our YouTube Channel, as well on this page. For direct links to the episodes, click on the links below.
