The Library’s website, which has been completely redesigned, is now live. The new site will better showcase library services and facilities, while the new menu structure makes it easier to navigate. The Library Catalogue can also be searched from any part of the site.

The site uses WordPress technology to ensure that it will work on any device – from PC to tablet to smartphone.  Elements of the Library website will be rebranded next year as part of the project currently being carried out for the Inn by the design agency SomeOne.

To mark Black History Month the Library has created a Black British History and the Law Timeline.

 
A list of New Titles and New Editions received by the Library between April and June 2016 has just been published.

 
An application was received by Historic England in September 2015 asking it to recommend to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) that the Inner Temple Treasury Office, Library and Hall be added to the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. The DCMS has considered Historic England’s recommendation and has decided that the buildings are not of special architectural interest and do not, therefore, meet the Government’s criteria for listing.

The implementation of the Treasury Building redevelopment plan will now be considered by the Project Pegasus Steering Group, chaired by David Pittaway QC, Master Reader.

 
Pride in London is held this week (10-26 June) with events taking place around the city.

To mark this year’s Pride we have put together a timeline charting the first Pride events held worldwide, with information on each country’s LGBTI related laws.
