    Plunder, Mystery, and Intrigue: Visiting the British Museum and the British Library

    After leaving the Lake District, I traveled to London by train, for the third part of my trip. This was where I saw the most libraries during my trip. On my last day in London, August 3rd, I visited the British Museum, located in London’s West End, which was overcrowded with tourists. This made viewing the so-called “chronicle of Western collection,” which was acquired through extensive plunder and theft, as American tour guide Rick Steves describes the museum, very uncomfortable. Even so, there were two highlights. The first was the stately and round reading room. English writers Virginia Woolf and Beatrix Potter, Chinese revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, radical thinkers Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, Black nationalist Marcus Garvey, women’s rights campaigner Sylvia Pankhurst, independence activist Mohandas K. Gandhi, and Irish author Bram Stoker all studied there.

    Note: This serves as second part of my series on this blog about my library tourism last year, with the first part, about my attempted and successful library tourism in Edinburgh and Northern England, posted on this blog last week. The series begins, chronologically, with my guest post on Reel Librarians, on February 11th, in a post entitled “Edinburgh and the National Library of Scotland: Library tourism redux.” It will be reposted on here over a month later. There will be one more parts of this series, focusing on my continued library tourism in Belgium coming next week.

    Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, as noted in Doyle’s “The Complete Sherlock Holmes,” studied in the reading room. In the 1893 short story “The Adventure of the Musgrave Ritual” (sometimes abbreviated as “The Musgrave Ritual”), he studied “those branches of science which might make me more efficient” in the reading room. He learned other information from the British Museum in chapter 15 of 1902 novel The Hound of the Baskervilles and “The Tiger of San Pedro” chapter, within a 1917 collection entitled His Last Bow: Some Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes (sometimes abbreviated as “His Last Bow”). There are mentions of libraries in the short stories “The Five Orange Pips”, “The Adventure of the Engineer’s Thumb”, and “The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet” in the 1892 short story collection The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

    The same is the case for “The Musgrave Ritual,” “The ‘Gloria Scott’”, and “The Reigate Squires” all within the 1893 short story collection The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, and the stories “The Adventures of the Three Students” and “The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez” in the 1905 short story collection The Return of Sherlock Holmes. Apart from that, chapter 10 of The Hound of the Baskervilles, chapter 7 of the 1915 novel The Valley of Fear, and the story “The Problem of Thorn Bridge” in the 1927 set of short stories The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes feature libraries as well. Lastly, there’s a mention of a London Library in St. James’s Square and Lomax, who is said to be a “sublibrarian,” in “The Illustrious Client.” This is another short story within The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes.

    In an email communication, Nathalie Belkin, an archivist who works for the London Library, told me that Doyle was a library member, joining in 1896 after his friend, and fellow writer, Arthur Griffith, nominated him. According to Belkin, Doyle was an active library user, even serving on the library’s committee. In fact, it is believed that The Illustrious Client, also entitled The Adventure of the Illustrious Client, was written in the library’s main reading room. While the borrowing history from the time has been lost, he was a “well-known fixture” of the library.

    Otherwise, Karl Marx formulated ideas on communism, including within Das Kapital (also known as Capital), in the aforementioned reading room within the British Museum. Displays within the room describe it as a place for diverse thought. Many patrons left behind their mark in the visitors log. It was even one of the first places in London to have electric light (in 1879)! The room could, at maximum, hold 302 readers sitting at 38 tables, sitting across from each other, and was heated from underneath. Readers would consult a catalogue of printed books in the room’s center, then fill out a request form. In some ways, this makes this room similar to the Library of Congress’s Reading Room, since books for the British Library could be accessed there until they were moved to their current location in 1997. In fact, 62,000 people came when this reading room opened in 1857. A sign, when looking into the reading room, tells visitors to be quiet, feeding into the common conception of libraries as quiet places, which is not always the case for all libraries anymore.

    Compilation of four photographs of the Reading Room within the British Library, taken on August 3, 2025 (Photographs by me. Sorry for the blurriness in one of these photos)

    What Rick Steves didn’t mention is that the historic reading room only re-opened to the public in 2024 after being closed for eleven years. The room was designed by Sydney Smirke, inspired by Rome’s domed Pantheon, and opened in 1857. It first re-opened to visitors in 2000 (after it stopped being an active reading room in 1997), then closed in 2013, when it was used for archival storage. The room, described by some as “legendary,” “stunning,” and an impressive sight for bibliophiles (protagonist and book-defender Elianna Bernstein of Bibliophile Princess would be right at home there) is not technically a library anymore. You can’t borrow any of the 25,000 books, and photography is now permitted (it wasn’t previously). Even so, it is still a marvel to see. You can even go on a twenty-minute tour there and there is currently a plan to completely transform the galleries and reading room.

    The second highlight was the Enlightenment Gallery, formerly known as the King’s Library. It once held the British Library’s treasures when it was founded in 1753. Today it holds objects about the Age of Enlightenment, as Rick Steves notes. A display board, when you enter the room, says that it was developed in partnership with the House of Commons Library and the Natural History Museum. The current books on display are being loaned from the House of Commons Library. The aforementioned display notes that those who lent non-book artifacts to the gallery included the British King, the Science Museum in London, King’s College in London, Wellcome Collection, Society of Antiquities of London, Victor and Albert Museum, the Linnean Society of London, and the Royal Asiatic Society (also in London). Of these institutions, most have their own libraries. In fact, the D. Leonard Corgan Library at Kings College, the college’s main library, served as a location in Dan Brown’s controversial novel The Da Vinci Code. The building’s exterior appeared in the 2020 film Enola Holmes, a mystery film about Sherlock Holmes’ teenage sister.

    The room itself was originally created, in 1823, to house King George II’s library, hence the original name. It was designed by architect Robert Smirke, known for the British Museum’s main facade and block, along with various clubs and houses within London. Of these, the Inner Temple, for which he did some work on, has a library, which continues to operate to this day, as did Bickley Hall. Smike also completed building restoration of the Bodleian Library’s Upper Reading room, which is part of the “old library.” As for the Enlightenment Gallery, it has a Greek Revival design, with neoclassical decoration. It’s said to be in keeping with the “styles of libraries in grand houses all over Britain” at the time, with claims it has echoes of “ancient wisdom and learning.” In 1998, the British Library moved to a new location across from the current St. Pancras station. The latter is not to be confused with pancreas or the Japanese anime film which centers on libraries and librarians, entitled I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. It is far too easy to call it “pancreas” by mistake, a name that almost stuck with me.

    This gallery is where thousands of objects can be viewed and serves as an introduction to the British Museum’s collections. Even so, for me, I visited it at the end of my time at the overcrowded museum. I was inspired to visit this room by one particular scene in the December 2011 anime film, K-On! the Movie, a spinoff from the 2009-2010 anime series, K-On!. It features two episodes with libraries, including one about studying in the library and featuring a student librarian at an information desk. In fact, I rewatched this film before my trip to London, just for this scene. During the film, Yui Hirasawa, Ritsu Tainaka, Mio Akiyama, Azusa Nakano, and Tsumugi Kotobuki bop around London, visiting many sites, including walking through the strangely empty Great Court of the British Museum. They make their way into the gallery. During a short scene, Azusa points out that the Rosetta Stone (she put it on their itinerary) is also a replica. In fact, they used a replica in a school play as the death stone for a Romeo & Juliet play, because the fake tombstone they wanted to use had been misplaced.

    My photograph on the left on August 3, 2024, of the Rosetta Stone replica in the Enlightenment Gallery, and image of the replica from K-On! the Movie on the right.

    The British Museum also has the actual Rosetta Stone in the Egyptian sculpture room, but like Yui, Ritsu, Mio, Azusa, and Tsumugi, I only looked at and touched the replica. The aforementioned gallery likely would have been overcrowded, as the gallery rooms I visited were extremely overcrowded and not suited for visitors. They had inadequate airflow and no overhead fans. As for the film, there were a few other short library scenes in the private all-girls school the protagonists attend, Sakuragaoka High School.

    The same day I visited the British Museum, I visited the British Library. It sits across from St. Pancras station, and would be the last library I visited in the U.K. As Rick Steves put it, the British empire built its “greatest monuments out of paper.” The library holds every publication within the U.K. and Northern Ireland, with over 170 million items, such as sacred texts, maps, the Magna Carta, Leonardo Da Vinci’s notebook, plays by William Shakespeare, and lyrics of songs by the Beatles. This library, established by an act of Parliament in July 1972 and opened in July 1973, is one of the biggest in the world. It’s only rivaled by the Library of Congress, Russian State Library in Moscow, or Shanghai Library in China. Many such institutions are the legal deposit libraries for their respective countries. Anyone is open to explore the British Library reading rooms and peruse exhibits. You can get a readers registration pass if you are over 18, allowing you to enter the reading rooms.

    When I visited, on August 3rd, the reading rooms for humanities, manuscripts, rare books, music, science, maps, and Asian and African studies, were not open. I even saw rooms reserved for the sole purpose of prayer, and went through the “Treasures of the British Library” exhibit in the St. John Ritblat Gallery. It contained many of the artifacts I noted in the previous paragraph. Perhaps because they have the space, the British Library holds the library collections of the British Museum. Rare books fill the middle of the library in a massive climate-controlled column, allowing the upper floors to only be accessed by stairs or elevators, and affecting the structure of each floor. There was also a fascinating collection of foreign currency, stamps, and other postage from former British colonies, called the Philatelic Collection. It could be easily overlooked, but was fun to look through, especially in the way it was displayed.

    Like the British museums I visited during my travels, they asked for a donation, but they were free to enter, without payment or restriction. The number of visitors using the study area made clear that they were open to all, in line with library ethical principles, as did the books in their bookshop, some of which would likely be on banned books lists of in U.S. libraries. In the next part of this series, I’ll talk briefly about the university library I visited in Belgium.

  2. Pop Culture Library Review @popculturelibraries.wordpress.com@popculturelibraries.wordpress.com

    A Nazi-supporting librarian, Allison Davis, Elizabeth Stubbs Davis, and mass book burning in “Origin” film

    Allison Davis (on left) and Elizabeth Stubbs Davis (on right) search for certain books, in a flashback scene (of sorts) narrated by Isabel Wilkerson. This is the beginning of the scene, but it goes further than this, as I’ll explain in this post. Allison says the library is “beautiful” even though it doesn’t have the book they are looking for.

    A pivotal scene of Origin, a 2023 biographical drama film by Ava DuVernay, a Black woman and director known for the historical drama Selma (2014), the documentary entitled 13th (2016), other films. Origin is based on Isabel Wilkerson’s 2020 book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents and her journey to write this book, takes place in a library in Germany, in 1933. In this post, I’ll talk about that scene, and another, which take place in a library, in this film.

    The film shows Allison Davis and Elizabeth Stubbs Davis, a married Black couple, in Berlin, Germany, in 1933, who are studying there. They are looking for books by Erich Maria Remarque, at Germany’s premier library, and find nothing. Elizabeth says she could get lost in these books (and ideas) “forever” and Allison says the library is “beautiful.” They walk through the reading room, past four German patrons, with White skin, and are having a fun time. The librarian asks for their library cards, as they are checking out two books, which seems normal, and they comply. And then she asks for their passports! Again, they comply, and a patron watches them.

    The librarian pages through their passports, he asks when Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front will be back in the library. She looks at him, does not answer, and stamps the books. The same patron, as before, looks at them, clearly concerned.She is serving as the enforcer of rules and social norms here.

    She does not answer. Instead, she asks for their passports, stamps their books, and they go on their way, as everyone watches them. He looks at her, worryingly, as does his wife, Elizabeth. She slides the books over to them, holds their passports, almost with concern, putting them down on the table. What was to come is that they would witness events that would change the world.

    The librarian’s demands of her patrons. The first one (shown in the image in the upper left) is reasonable, but the other one (in the upper right), their passports, is NOT reasonable! In the third image (in the lower left), she looks at Allison when he asks about All Quiet in the Western Front. In the fourth image (in the lower right), she stamps their books, ending their interaction.

    Later in the film, Wilkerson herself goes to a library. A helpful librarian, a White German man, shows her the book she requested, with a list from October 1935, noting a part of the text showing that all of Remarque’s books would be destroyed. Later, she looks on the library stacks. Right after this, it flashes back to the past. As Elizabeth and Allison are on the steps outside the library, a friendly White German man named Erich Kästner overhears they are asking about Remarque but says he couldn’t catch the librarian’s answer. He asks them if they know what is happening in Germany. They don’t.He tells them that “everything is being torn apart.”

    Later that night, he brings them to the infamous book burning, likely when the Berlin chapter of the German Student Union made an organized attack on Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institute of Sex Research on May 6, 1933. As the Nazis march around and chant, a stack of burning books is shown, and some holding torches. One person shouts about ending the period of “exaggerated Jewish intellectualism,” and people agree wholeheartedly, raising their hands in Nazi salutes, claiming that the German soul can now “breathe again,” and to end “moral corruption.” A truck approaches the stack of burning books, with people taking books out of the back and throwing them onto the fire, all to protect “decency” and “morality.”

    In the present, Wilkerson walks into the square where the burning happened and a German woman says there are memorials to nearly everyone victimized by the Nazis, no gate or entry sign, open day and night, standing “to bear witness.” The film flashes back again, showing Germans throwing tens of thousands of books into a fire, burning them to a crisp, as they shout. A German woman in the present says “20,000 books were lost that night,” while Elizabeth and Allison are growing more concerned and horrified. Kästner suggests they leave Germany and go somewhere safe (their home) instead, which they agree with. The film comes back to the present, with audio of someone saying to burn the books of Sigmund Freud, Heinrich Mann, Ernest Glaser, Remarque, Karl Renner, and Kästner. Also, empty bookshelves, where books would be, is displayed, symbolic of all the books that were lost that night.

    The German woman also shares a quote by a German Jewish poet Heinrich Heine: “when you burn books, you end up burning men.” All of this makes one thing clear: the strict librarian depicted is aligned with this book burning. Elianna Bernstein, the main protagonist of Bibliophile Princess, would be horrified by all of this, as a person who detested book burning and directly called those who did it monsters. She is right! More than that, the librarian is even more aligned with oppression than Francis Clara Censordoll in Moral Orel, or Cletus Bookbinder in Rocky & Bullwinkle, to give two examples I can think of at this point.

    One of the scenes in the film shows the horrifying book burning in Berlin in 1933. I had another screenshot from this film in mind as well, but this is the more poignant one.

    The film also notes that Elizabeth and Allison cut short their advanced studies at the University of Berlin (obviously!) and they began their research for a book which would be entitled Deep South: A Social Anthropological Study of Caste and Class in a Southern City. The book, which came out in 1941, would also involve research in collaboration with their White colleagues, Burleigh and Mary R. Gardner, who were Harvard researchers. The book would serve as a major influence on Wilkerson (and others) and her work.

    The two librarians noted in the cast list at the end of the film: Nazi Librarian and Berlin Librarian, played by Cristin König and Matthias Miller respectfully. I have highlighted both with yellow boxes for emphasis. The librarian in this film could, possibly, be described as a bit of a spinster, but is more of an anti-social librarian, which Jennifer Snoek-Brown defines as hoarding knowledge, wearing conservative clothing, having poor social skills, is very unfriendly, and “rates the library and its rules above the public.” This librarian is more than that, however: she is an enforcer of Nazi agenda, a footsoldier of oppression, and doesn’t seem to care about that!

    I did deeper dive and found the screenplay, which notes even more library scenes, including Wilkerson at the New York Public Library, noting her tenderly pulling a book from the grand shelf. It also shows that the aforementioned library scene was at the Berlin University Library, noting that Allison and Elizabeth were “extremely light-skinned African-Americans who could pass for white on first glance,” and it also depicts them as even more romantic than the film. Interestingly, this screenplay has the librarian as a White man rather than a White woman. I wonder why it was changed. It noes he views them with suspicion, with the screenplay saying he “reviews the passport and card as if it’s a matter of national security”! The librarian almost interrogates Allison, and Elizabeth notes that she, and her husband, work with Dr. Diedrich Westermann. [1]

    The screenplay also notes that the librarian places the books on the counter, and waves the next person over. Right after this is their conversation with Kästner, includes more dialogue from Elizabeth than in the film. then the book burning scene happens at the Bebelplatz, with open-bed trucks (unlike covered ones on the film) filled with books, with a crowd of 40,000 people. The screenplay shows more dialogue from a Nazi student organizer, specifically calling out Sigmund Freud, Erich Remarque, Georg Bernhard, Heinrich Mann, Ernst Glaeser, and Kästner. The scene plays out pretty similarly from there as in the film, except that Joseph Goebbels is introduced (in the film he is shown but not named directly), who calls out “intellectual garbage.” The same scene depicting Wilkerson meeting with the White British woman, Nigella, is shown as well. In those ways the film is similar. [2]

    The screenplay, like in the film, continues the story of Allison and Elizabeth, noting they fled Germany when Hitler took power, as they had seen “the Nazis burn books and jail teachers,” which gave Allison new insights into the “nature of hate” and inspiring “him to study the process of injustice.” There are other mentions of libraries as well, like Wilkerson researching in a library, a gala at the New York Public Library which Wilkerson attends with her husband, Brett, and another one where she doesn’t. There’s also a “cozy library room” where Bhimrao Ambedkar reads with intensity in 1918. [3]

    As it turns out, Kästner did, in real-life, actually attend the book burning. One biography says that he was “among the few authors, perhaps the only, who was present, when the Nazis burned books in Berlin on May 10, 1933, his own included,” but that he was “arrested by the Gestapo in 1934 and 1937 because he used to cross the border regularly to consult his Swiss publisher.”

    In terms of the actors, Cristin König and Matthias Miller, they are both very talented. König is known for her roles in many German-language films and TV series since the late 1980s, while this appears to be Miller’s first role in the film, if IMDB is right. While König posted about this role on social media here and here, she never did so with much depth in her posts, even though other posts show her as very anti-Nazi, which is funny considering her character in the film! But, perhaps that was a reason she took the role? I haven’t seen any critical commentary of her role in the film when I searched for this, which is unfortunate, considering her key role!

    Apparently a librarian named Kashif Andrew Graham introduced the film in one location and another, Mary Anne, shared her thoughts on the film. The latter did not mention either librarian character. Why?. I don’t understand that at all. How could they miss this? I hope Jennifer Snoek-Brown writes a post on Reel Librarians about these scenes as well, considering it was added to her master list of English-language films back in April 2024. I’d love to see her analysis.

  3. Pop Culture Library Review @popculturelibraries.wordpress.com@popculturelibraries.wordpress.com

    When people think about librarians and libraries, they may point to films, live-action TV shows, or even novels. However, one area is often missed: animation. In Hollywood, stereotypes are plentiful, as librarians are used as “shortcuts to propel the plot forward,” in the words of Jennifer Snoek-Brown, author of the Reel Librarians blog. While this generally applies to animation as well, two recent shows buck those stereotypes, depicting libraries and librarians positively.

    The first of these shows is Cleopatra in Space, loosely based on Mike Maihack’s graphic novel series and currently streaming on Peacock. The show follows teenage princess Cleo, who has been transported 30,000 years through time and space from Ancient Egypt into the Nile Galaxy. Wrestling with the newfound responsibility of being the “savior of the galaxy” prophesied to defeat the evil tyrant Octavian, she attends an Egyptian-themed futuristic high school on the planet of Mayet to hone her skills. While Octavian has destroyed most of the recorded knowledge available in the galaxy, Cleo’s school library still contains vital information. In the show’s third episode, Cleo travels to the school library after hours with her mentor Khensu, and two of her friends, Akila and Brian. Khensu shows her to the library’s Ancient Egypt section, with only a few physical records contained in a trunk, all accessible in holographic form. (In real life, these artifacts would be housed in a library’s special collections.) This positive depiction is possibly offset by what Cleo does next: dismayed by the lack of records about her homeland, she thinks about her dad, floats in the air, glows pink, then sucks all the electricity of the school and nearby city into her body, causing a massive power outage. The message of this moment is that libraries need adequate resources and support to assist the communities they serve—otherwise there will be information deficits that put patrons at a disadvantage. Libraries are also mentioned throughout the series as a beloved hangout space for one of the main characters. Akila likes to spend her time in the library studying and insists “all the cool students” spend time there too in the show’s 12th episode. In some ways, Akila reminds me a bit of myself in college: while in college, I extensively used the well-endowed campus library to study, research, and relax, even when some of my friends disliked it.

    Another animated show, the recently concluded Netflix series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, prominently features librarians in a few episodes. The season two finale focuses on two middle-aged gay Black librarians, George and Lance, and their library in a magical forest called the Whispering Woods. This portrayal contrasts with the original 1980s series, She-Ra: Princess of Power, where a stereotypical elderly white long-haired librarian aids the protagonists. George and Lance are fathers to Bow, one of the show’s protagonists; in the episode, Bow and his friends, Adora and Glimmer, work together with the librarians to translate an ancient message. Their efforts inadvertently release an elemental monster into the library, and in the havoc that ensues, Bow reluctantly reveals his true identity as an expert archer and rebellion fighter, a secret he has long concealed from his dads. While he expects his dads will rebuke him, they embrace him instead, accepting him for who he is—many viewers see this storyline as echoing family coming-out stories from the LGBTQ+ community. In the 10th episode of the show’s final season, Bow and Glimmer reconnect with the two librarians. Both recount their discoveries: an ancient rebellion against the planet’s first settlers and the existence of a fail-safe for the superweapon in the planet’s core. This information becomes vitally important in the effort by the show’s protagonists to stop the world (and universe) from being destroyed, setting the stage for the groundbreaking kiss in the final episode. On the whole, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power shows librarians as helpful, welcoming, and diverse, a refreshing antidote to more stereotypical media about libraries, which is all too common, even in animated series.

    While these are only two examples, there are many more which I am continually reviewing on my blog, Libraries in Popular Culture.
