New to the Commons: London School of Economics Library

Posted by Stephanie Fysh in News

We’re delighted to note the arrival in the Commons of the LSE Library, a.k.a. the British Library of Political & Economic Science, home to the research collection of the London School of Economics and Political Science.

The LSE Library kicks things off this week with a lens onto its own over-a-century-long history and with some non-photographic archival treats: British and Soviet political posters.

Welcome to the Commons!
