Bodleian Library

The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford, reopened by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1602 in the room above the Divinity School, completed in 1488. Guided tours lead into Duke Humfrey's Library and the Divinity School of the Old Library, and the Weston Library on Broad Street holds exhibitions, the tour desk and a café.
