A new partnership has been announced recently between the British Library and the Library of Birmingham. The two libraries will work together in 2016 on a cultural collaboration, including a special project around the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare. Bringing together the unique collections and expertise of both institutions, the partnership will test a new way of working between the British Library and public libraries in the UK.

The Centre, which launched in July 2014, is part of a growing network of facilities in city libraries coordinated by the British Library, whose own Business & IP Centre opened in London in 2006. and DS Publishers will also be exhibiting at the show.
