TSL News: April 2001
A quarterly bulletin on library activities from Friends of Tate South Lambeth Library

Return to the reading room…
The repainting of the reading room, carried out by students from Lambeth College and funded by Clapham & Stockwell Town Centre Management, is due to finish in the first week of April. Shelving, books and tables will then be restored, and library users can move back into this quieter - and now much brighter - area.

.. with new PCs coming into the library
The repainting has delayed the fitting of security facilities - and so the Installation of three new PCs ( one for internet access, one networked CD ROM and one On Line Public Access) in the library. So we'll have our internet facilities in place before the end of April - AT LAST!

TSL and the Midsummer South Festival
The library will be the venue for four events featuring in Midsummer South - a new festival running from Clapham (June 15-21) through Stockwell (June 22-29) to Vauxhall ( June 30- July 13).
