Whatever it is, everything in the Library has a story to tell, and so do you. See some of these weird and wonderful items up close, all while you explore three imaginary worlds in our new, free family experience.
Here’s what to expect when you visit:
three fantastic worlds to explore which have been co-created with families. Step out in space, explore deep in the jungle and dive under the ocean
interactive elements for children to play with including a fun activity trail around the space
a book corner to sit and relax together, with braille and tactile editions
a chance to take a look at some of our collection items including something from every continent. You’ll see alien zines, explore an alphabet of animals, and learn about one of the first ever photographs of the moon
family-friendly facilities including free buggy park, cloakroom and lockers; accessible toilets with baby changing facilities.
