Librarian Alexandra shows us one of her favourite things in our collection: a red squirrel 'scampering around the page' of a 15th century book.
Alt text: In this reel, Alexandra - who has brown hair and wears a green and black stripy top - stands framed by the hanging lamps of our Reading Room. She shows us details from an antique-looking book, including a beautifully drawn red squirrel at the bottom of a page decorated with a design of curling leaves, stems and petals.
