"I have been using the British Library as a treasure house of research since 1979. I teach palaeography to young medieval historians. I want them to be able to go the Library and lose themselves in admiration of the beauty and richness of its holdings, as I have." - Philippa Maddern, Supporter

“My heart is always lifted when entering the building. As I told my son: some women like to go to New Bond Street, others are happiest in the British Library!” - Gerda Frank-Gemmill, Supporter
