We've recently upgraded our West Smithfield Library basement floor study area.

🛋️ Reupholstered furniture for a sustainable touch

Our beloved Whitechapel Library is wrapped up snugly in its 'winter coat' while works continue to be carried out. Ok, so maybe it isn't actually wearing a giant woolly hat, but we couldn't resist.

Despite the gloomy weather (it is January in the UK after all, 😔) the views from our Graduate Centre study spaces across London are spectacular.

A bust of John Beaumont, sculpted by George Gammon Adams, is located in the Research Reading Room at Mile End Library. Beaumont founded the Beaumont Institute in 1841, which offered a library with free lectures. His funds later established the People’s Palace to support education in the East End.

Next to Queen Mary’s Mile End Library is a unique feature—a Grade II listed Sephardic Jewish burial ground, established in 1733. It's one of just two Sephardic cemeteries remaining in England, providing a space for reflection and remembrance, especially with Holocaust Memorial Day approaching.

Happy New Year!

We can't wait to keep you updated on what looks to be another exciting year of workshops, exhibitions and projects from Queen Mary Library Services.
