Launched last week, the 2021/22 Library Fund appeal is raising funds to replace lighting in the Library’s bookstacks. A new system, based on LED fittings and passive infrared sensors, will cut the Library’s total electricity use by 20% – a big step towards a financially and environmentally sustainable future – while making the stacks more welcoming and usable and protecting the book collection from environmental damage.
