Designed to support ESOL learners at entry levels E2, E3, L1 and L2, this creative workshop introduces participants to the British Library and our exciting collection of ‘treasures’ on display.
This interactive exploration of the Library is ideal for a first visit. Your group will take a journey through the galleries and public spaces, asking questions about knowledge, information and libraries.
A workshop that encourages participants to find their own connections with magnificent sacred texts from eight different religions.
