BRITISH LIBRARY BOSTON SPA

The British Library is redeveloping its site at Boston Spa in West Yorkshire to create much-needed storage capacity for the UK national collection.
The Library’s plans involve the construction of a new state-of-the-art storage facility and removal of buildings that are no longer fit for use. Other buildings will be refurbished to improve working environments for the Library’s 550 staff in Yorkshire, and to use the available space more efficiently. These new facilities will offer exciting possibilities for opening up our site and sharing the work of the Library with audiences, including school visits, tours, public displays and a new Reading Room, as well as a restaurant and café for visitors.
