This wonderful library, housed in ultramodern buildings, is divided into public and member areas. To enter the reading rooms you need to apply for a reader's card, but the public areas, including 3 exhibition galleries, are open to all. Illuminated Manuscripts Gallery, Shakespeare original folios, the Gutenburg Bible, and original author's manuscripts, as well as changing exhibits and an events program make this a must visit if you love books.
