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

The Fisher Library's video podcast series Between the Pillars was launched in October 2020. Every second Friday, at 12:30 pm, we livestream 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, which will be filmed in the library – filmed in the library, between our large pillars, naturally – are casual and relaxed, and based around a particular theme that showcase many of the library’s treasures. 

Don’t worry if you happen to miss the livestream. We’ll be posting them all on our YouTube Channel, as well as this page.
