The Illuminating Cambridge Libraries series honours features that enable the dissemination and preservation of knowledge. With this series, Sara Rawlinson honours the many librarians in her life, honours the libraries that kept her interested and interesting throughout the years, and honours the concept of university education. "And so I spent some time pondering the idea that the nucleus of a university resides in its knowledge contained, preserved, and disseminated: without a library, there is no university." (quote from Rawlinson's self-published book Illuminating Cambridge Libraries)
