The Bodleian Library is not one library but many, housed in buildings spread all over Oxford. The historic core is around Radcliffe Square, with the oldest parts being the magnificent Duke Humphrey’s Library and the Divinity School. The Bodleian receives a copy of every new book printed in Britain since 1610, so that the library contains an unrivalled 400-year record of British literature. The general public cannot enter the reading rooms but other parts of the library can be seen on one of the frequent guided tours.
