About this Book

This title is the final part of Alan Day's trilogy about the British Library. It continues the story of the development of the long-awaited new British Library building at St Pancras, complete with its surrounding controversy over funding and delays. The book is timed to coincide with the opening of the new premises, and redresses the balance by giving a complete and positive account of all that the new Library will offer the reading public. This is a full guide to the structure, publications, collections and services of the UK's national library.
