In 2023 we celebrate our 50th year serving the nation and launch our new strategy, Knowledge Matters. The Library is for everyone, and together we're just getting started. https://www.bl.uk/
Our unique, world class collections and unrivalled expertise make the Library an important part of the cultural life of the UK. The Library's exhibition programme provides a window into the collections, creating compelling stories and new ways of looking at the ideas they have generated.
