National Library of Australia borrows from friends

The British Library is lending rare items, including manuscripts by Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, to the National Library of Australia in Canberra. They will form part of an exhibition of literary treasures contributed by libraries from all over the world, the first of its kind. The full story from BBC News.

I\’m currently trying to plan a trip to Oz for next year but if I don\’t get there before February 24th, it looks like I\’ll miss out on this exhibition.
