British Library to re-open its search rooms from July 22nd

The British Library (www.bl.uk) is reopening its two search room facilities in England from July 22nd - the Humanities 1, Rare Books & Music, and the Business & IP Centre Reading Rooms in St Pancras, London, and the Reading Room at Boston Spa, Yorkshire (the newspaper collection).

The opening hours are as follows:

St Pancras, Tuesday - Saturday, 11.00 – 15.00
Boston Spa, Tuesday - Friday, 11.00 – 15.00

As is likely to be the case for many repositories, there will be a booking system in place, and various changes to be aware of - these can be read at www.bl.uk/visit/reading-rooms.
