Hi there! We are Francesca and Irina and here we are dreaming out loud, planning and sharing with Tumblrland our trips around the world!

Our first plan is to visit Oxford on Summer '13!

Feel free to fill our askbox with ideas, thoughts, songs and advices! (and we won't say no to any donations!)

Q: Not sure you got my question from yesterday, so I'm sending this again. I know you're not from Oxford but I thought maybe you looked up about this, cause I wasn't able to find it out: I was wondering if even non-students at the Oxford University are admitted to the Bodleian library, and if yes, how?
=)
A:
Hi! Thank you for asking us, we are flattered :P
I am pretty sure visits for turist/ non-students are admitted. I will ask to some Oxonians so we’ll keep in touch, but there’s the information I currently have:

http://www.visitoxfordandoxfordshire.com/thedms.aspx?dms=13&venue=2912790

http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/bodley/services/admissions

In general, access to college libraries is restricted to members of that college, and some other libraries impose restrictions on access to non-members of the department or faculty. Members are advised to consult the library guides for individual library policy.

Others, including non-members of Oxford University, should follow the links on these pages and complete the admissions form(s) for the Bodleian Libraries and consult individual library guides for other libraries.

I think they don’t talk about visits, just about using it, meaning taking books.

Here you are:

Sorry for the late and no, we didn’t receive any ask yesterday, thank you for trusting us! By the way, are you planning a trip to the city too?
