FROM THE CAMDEN THEOLOGICAL LIBRARY

On-line Survey - students and faculty are invited to complete an on-line survey about Camden Theological Library. This will be open between Tuesday 25 September and Monday 15 October.

Please take a short amount of time to tell us what you think of the Library. Your opinions are important to us and could highlight matters of concern which we might be able to improve.

There is a ‘prize’ drawn for a couple of people who complete the survey.

Student Kitchen and Pantry - Another reminder to students that all who use the kitchen have a responsibility to keep it clean. Please wash up dirty dishes and put them away after use.

Please also take care to ensure that the recycling bins are used correctly – we are still finding many items in the wrong bins. Disposable cups cannot be recycled, and containers contaminated with food are also not able to be recycled. Please rinse dirty containers before putting them in the bins.

The student pantry is up and running and being well used.  Donations to keep the pantry stocked are always welcome. If you find you are using items from the pantry regularly please consider restocking these items from time to time.  More information about the pantry can be found on signs in the kitchen.
