About British Library

With pomp and pride, the British Library stands as a centre of educational excellence in the London region. Stacked with a total of 14 million books, it comes with an interesting mixture of reading material print and digital which adds an eternal charm to its availability.

This main body for bookworms is located at the north side of Euston Road between the railway stations in Yorkshire. The reason why the Library stands out as a unique source for learning and research is because exhibitions are held show casing a number of books and manuscripts to the general public in the Sir John Ritblat Gallery and entrance is absolutely free. Some of the books include the famous Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, Lewis Carroll and Charlotte Bronte's literary works.

A Business & IP Centre has employed two of the reading rooms which includes business related journals and information.  A wide collection for philatelic and postage material runs in the Library having 80,000 items viewed in display frames.  The Newspaper section of the Library is housed in Colindale among the collection contains 7,200 17th century old print records. Every newspaper department is required to hand a copy of each newspaper to the library. A Sound Archive is also separately installed solely for sound and music literature related items holding more than a million titled discs and tapes.

The Sitting on History bronzed sculpture, which symbolizes the inescapable information in the book chained to a ball, can also be witnessed at the British Library.
