The Spring event took place on Saturday 16 March 2013 and consisted of a fascinating talk on "The Day in the Life of a Book Conservator" given by current manager of the Cambridge Colleges Conservation Consortium Edward Cheese.

After the talk, Friends enjoyed tea and coffee followed by a chance to view the current exhibition Treasures of the Old Library, which is also available to browse online.
