Part of the Bodleian - Free Entry & Free Exhibitions
Weston Library的点评
点评：When you think of the Bodleian, you think of a rarefied atmosphere of ancient manuscripts, rare books, historic reading rooms with vaulted ceilings (and probably Harry Potter).
The Weston Library could not be more different. It’s part of the Bodleian but this is the modern part, built in the mid-20th century to be a working library and research centre, and to house the Bodleian’s special collections.
Unlike the historic Bodleian, the Weston is free to enter and you can stroll in off the street.
There are two large exhibition spaces which always have something on. These can be fairly niche so it depends on your interests.
When I visited there was a brilliant exhibition, ‘Write, Cut, Rewrite”. It looked at the way authors edit and re-edit, ‘killing their darlings’ in order to hone their work. It featured scribbled notes, drafts, sketches, and discarded ideas - works in progress from great authors like Mary Shelley, Jane Austen, Ian Fleming, Samuel Beckett, and John le Carré. It was only a small exhibition but I was fascinated and lingered here for some time.
The other exhibition was on Kafka. Both were free (although I believe that sometimes there's an entry fee).
The exhibitions are never permanent and change fairly regularly.
Even if you are on a very tight itinerary, it’s worth taking a few minutes to walk into Blackwell Hall. Overhead, a suspended glass gallery of bookshelves circles the foyer. It’s an impressive sight.
I browsed briefly in the gift shop which has a lot of lovely book-themed gifts. The Bodleian ‘Silence Please’ signs caught my eye, a fun gift for someone with a home library.

翻译：说到博德利图书馆，你会联想到一种稀薄的氛围：古老的手稿、珍稀的书籍、拱形天花板的历史阅览室（或许还有《哈利·波特》）。
韦斯顿图书馆则截然不同。它是博德利图书馆的一部分，但这是现代化的部分，建于20世纪中期，最初是一个运营中的图书馆和研究中心，同时也收藏着博德利图书馆的特藏。
与历史悠久的博德利图书馆不同，韦斯顿图书馆免费入场，你可以从街上漫步而入。
图书馆内有两个大型展览空间，总有新作品。这些展览可能比较小众，所以取决于你的兴趣。
我参观的时候，那里有一个精彩的展览，名为“写作、删减、重写”。展览探讨了作家们为了精益求精而反复修改作品的方式，他们“扼杀自己的挚爱”。展览展出了玛丽·雪莱、简·奥斯汀、伊恩·弗莱明、塞缪尔·贝克特和约翰·勒卡雷等伟大作家的草稿、草稿、草图和被丢弃的想法——这些作品都还在创作中。虽然展览规模不大，但我却被深深吸引，在这里流连了一段时间。
另一个展览是关于卡夫卡的。这两个展览都是免费的（虽然我相信有时需要入场费）。
展览并非固定不变，而是定期更换。
即使你的行程安排很紧凑，也值得花几分钟时间走进布莱克威尔大厅。大厅上方，悬挂着一个玻璃书架廊，环绕着大厅。景象令人印象深刻。
我在礼品店里简单地逛了逛，那里有很多精美的书籍主题礼品。博德利图书馆“请保持安静”的标语引起了我的注意，对于有家庭图书馆的人来说，这是一个有趣的礼物。
