Why Visit National Libraries Worldwide?

 



UK

The British National library is the largest in the world, was recently, in the last decade, moved and rebuilt, and has won awards. It has remarkable spaces iside for eents as well as some interesting statues. The library is conveniently placed opposite Baker Street station (underground and overground railway) and Madame Tussauds waxworks, and around the corner from the Sherlock Holmes museum and shop.

The library has two notable statues. One is outside. It depicts a person sitting.

The other statue is inside. It shows a giant book.

When you are travelling, as well as taking a good book to pass the time whilst on your train or plane, or waiting, you might visit a national library.

The Bitish library is the largest in the world. 

South America - Brazil

The largest in South America is the National Library in Brazil.

Asia - Singapore

Singapore National library frequently has events for authors and readers and members of the public. I have been to book launches, accompanies by exhibitions on the ground floor. I have also attended a two session class on illustrating books and greeting cards for birthdays, weddings and festivals such as Xmas, Diwali and Eid.
