The Library's ethos, principles and ambitions strike a chord with me; the services on offer are the practical demonstration of what the place is about.

I have had a lifelong love of books and feel that the British Library is an inspiring place and well worthy of support, particularly at a time when funding for the arts in general appears to be under threat.
