The Shaw Library

The Shaw Library, or Founders Room, is a library and common room for all members of LSE.  It has a pleasant ambience, comfortable armchairs and is a haven of retreat for many (although not intended for serious study by students).

 As well as housing the Shaw Library, it is also the venue of the School's long standing concerts series, a regular annual series of professional lunch-hour concerts and evening concerts open to the whole LSE community - free admission to all lunch hour concerts (voluntary retiring collection).

An adjoining rehearsal room is available and there is a roof terrace for use in clement weather.

The room is regularly used for School functions which are booked via the Conferences and Events office.

The Shaw Library stock can be borrowed by LSE staff and students : up to four items may be loaned for up to three weeks. There are also a number of newspapers and serials available for reading in the Library.
