@anjacks0n Brilliant news, sounds so fun and a great fit. We will miss you but a new chapter sounds exciting!

[British Library @britishlibrary]

We’re experiencing a major technology outage as a result of a cyber incident. This is affecting our website, online systems and services, and some onsite services including public Wi-Fi. We’re currently investigating the incident with @NCSC and other specialists.

The Library’s buildings remain fully open and the following services are available onsite:
· Reading Rooms (for personal study)
· any collection items ordered on or before 26 October
· very limited, manual collection item ordering in London via our printed catalogues, for items stored in St Pancras only.

If you have tickets to Fantasy: Realms of Imagination, you’ll still be able to use them. You can also buy tickets onsite but we can only accept cash.

We know that you may have questions, but please bear with us while we gather more information. We’ll update as regularly as we can.

[London Inner City Kitties @LDNCityKitties]
