context_page_description: The Selwyn College Library is the library of Selwyn College, Cambridge and an official collegiate library of the University of Cambridge. The current library building is located in Centre Court and was completed in 1929. It was designed by the architect T. H. Lyon as a war memorial library to honour the fallen from the First World War. In 2018, plans for a new library and auditorium in Anne's Court were announced. The current Selwyn College Head Librarian is Sonya Adams and the College Archivist is Elizabeth Stratton.
context_section_description: The Selwyn College Library is a two-level Victorian stone and brick building. The ground floor consists of wooden library stacks, sofas, tables, washroom facilities, and librarians offices; the floor above consists of a quiet-study area, computer stations, and rare book collections.
  A small modern annex which provides addition space for book stacks and work tables is connected to the back of the War Memorial library via a small ground-level passageway. The War Memorial Library also includes an elevated bridge which connects it to C-Staircase and Old Court. Underneath this elevated bridge, and arch with two metal gates serve as the gateway to Centre Court. The library is equipped with computers, printers, binding machines, and book easels for students' convenience. The library can be accessed from Centre Court by key or special appointment. Special historical exhibits and curated book collections are often displayed on the main table for general interest.
