One of the best ways to discover the Library for the first time is to take our audio tour. It offers a relaxed way for new users to get to know the Library's layout and facilities. Even if you have used the Library before, the tour provides an excellent opportunity to refresh your memory of the key Library facilities and collections.
This tour is broken into key Library sections and through the links below you can either listen or download the sections individually or as a whole (link for whole tour is at the bottom of the page).
The complete tour lasts about 25 minutes and will work on any PC or mobile device equipped to play MP3 files.
