The John Rylands Library Shop

Like the café at The John Rylands Library, The John Rylands Library shop was part of a major refurbishment in 2007, occupying a new extension to one side of the original building. It offers an eclectic welcome, with a wide range of products on sale, inspired by the library’s own collections. There’s often a special set of things on sale inspired by the library’s current exhibition, so it’s worth popping in regularly. Browse for prints, postcards, stationary, homeware, wrapping paper and more.
