Learning at the British Library

The British Library offers an exciting programme of workshops, activities and resources for schools, teachers and learners of all ages. Explore fascinating topics online or plan a visit.

In the coming months you will notice this website changing as we move towards our new home for Learning. Many resources will be refreshed and updated, along the lines of World War One, Magna Carta and Discovering Literature, but some of our older sites will be switched off. If you cannot find the resource you are looking for, please visit the UK Web Archive.
