The Friends of Lambeth Palace Library was founded in 1964 as a focus of support for the Library, and to help in adding to its collections for the benefit of present and future generations. The Friends brings together like-minded people with an interest in the Library’s history and collections, and provides invaluable assistance in the acquisition of rare books and manuscripts.

Each year several visits are organised by The Friends  (although you do not need to be Friend to go on them). The Spring 2013 programme includes visits to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and the Guildhall Library and Mansion House in London. For further details about the Friends and the current programme of visits please see the Friends page on our website.
