Visitors can expect to find a living collection of over 170 million items, including books, newspapers, maps, sound recordings, patents, and stamps. The library also offers spaces for study, meeting friends, starting a new business, and getting inspired by galleries and events.
The library offers access to a wide range of resources, including online catalogues, printed collections, and some freely available online resources. Visitors can also attend exhibitions, events, courses, family activities, workshops, and activities for schools. Additionally, expert advice for business growth is available at various locations across the UK.
Visitors can read a paper about a cyber-attack that took place last October. The goal of the publication is to share the library's understanding of the incident and help others learn from the experience. The paper can be found on the library's website, along with a blog post from the CEO.
The latest exhibition at the library is titled Beyond the Bassline: 500 Years of Black British Music. This exhibition is the first of its kind in the world, exploring the history of Black British music over five centuries. Tickets for the exhibition can be booked starting from 26 April.
The library has opened The Last Word community hub in its Piazza, serving as the new base for the Community Engagement team. The hub will host activities for local residents and showcase changing displays of community projects for everyone to enjoy.
