Press release, The British Library and the Public Sector Spending Review: “Readers may have read in the newspapers that the British Library may have to start charging for access to the reading rooms. We are currently working with DCMS to assist them in making the best case for the British Library in the current public sector spending review. They will present our case to the Treasury over the next few weeks and months. However all commentators agree that the current economic climate dictates that this will be a tight settlement.”
The British Library: “We hold over 13 million books, 920,000 journal and newspaper titles, 57 million patents, 3 million sound recordings, and so much more.”
