INTRODUCTORY TOURS

The Library has been holding open introductory tours on the last Saturday of each month, aimed at anyone who might be interested in the collections, but these are currently suspended owing to the large-scale building development work now in progress which is affecting access routes throughout the Library.

 

We hope to re-commence these monthly Saturday tours later in 2010, when core areas of the Library will be refurbished, enlarged and much improved.  Please watch this website page for further announcements. 

 

 

OTHER VISITORS

 

It may occasionally be possible to host individual or small group visits for library students or other professional colleagues .  Please email visits@londonlibrary.co.uk or ring 020-7766 4712
