Visiting our Reading Room

Visitors are welcome to visit our main Reading Room, but must follow the signs, and directions of staff. You may view the Reading Room from the designated viewing area only, and photography is not permitted.

At certain times during the year, we host open days/evenings which provide the opportunity for a free informal visit to our main Reading Room. Visitors are welcome to use their cameras on these visits. All are welcome and no booking is required. Such days are listed as part of our current events programme.

Meanwhile, you can take a virtual 360° Tour of our Main Reading Room.
