Great Britain. Say what it is remarkable for.
The British Library is the greatest public library in Britain. It consists of
the Reference Division, the Bibliographic Service Division and the Lending
Division in Yorkshire.
The Reference Division has its origins in the library department of the
British Museum founded in 1753. There are more than 9 million books
including original texts by Shakespeare, Dickens, da Vinci and many others. The
collections of early printed books, of old English books and of books in all
European languages make the British Library one of the finest libraries in the
world. It is not only a collection of old books, it is also a rapidly growing
modern research library.
The British Library receives one copy of every book and every issue of
every periodical or newspaper published in the United Kingdom and the
Republic of Ireland. Now the collections are not only in many languages, but
also cover all fields of human knowledge.
The Reading Room of the British Library is a centre of serious study in all
fields. University professors, lecturers and students use it.
