Adopt a Book
Conservation is at the heart of what we do at the British Library. Every year we conserve over 1,800 items for you to explore through our reading rooms, exhibitions and online.
For over 25 years people from across the globe have supported our Adopt a Book scheme, enabling us to conserve thousands of rare and precious items for future researchers and visitors.
Adopt a Book makes a great gift for the special bibliophile in your life.
Adopt a book now and help the British Library's vital Conservation work.
