Happy birthday to us! It's October 14th - and 123 years ago, Gladstone’s Library was officially opened by Earl Spencer as the National Memorial to W.E. Gladstone. 🎂

The books in this image date back to that time.

[Gladstone's Library @gladlib]

We have grounds work taking place (mainly outside the building) from Monday 29th September until Friday 3rd October. There may be some disruption and noise, and parking will be limited.

Thank you for your patience. We look forward to telling you some exciting news soon!

As this week marks Bonfire Night in the UK, we are looking at the ways we remember key political events, and how these memories can change.

Remember, remember the 5th of November!
