TikTok and the British Library present BookTok Late – a major cultural takeover that transforms the British Library into a live, immersive celebration of stories, fandom and community for a new generation of readers and creators.

Hosted by the internet’s resident librarian, Jack Edwards, the evening will feature an exciting programme of talks and conversations with the voices shaping today’s digital reading culture.

Guests will also have after-hours access to explore the Library and its world-renowned collections, with intimate breakout sessions in the Treasures Gallery and curated discovery experiences designed to help readers uncover their next favourite genre, author or book obsession.

The evening will finish with a DJ set in the iconic British Library Entrance Hall. 

Whether you're a lifelong book lover or a dedicated BookTok fan, #BookTok Late is your chance to connect with fellow readers, discover new stories and experience the British Library like never before.

More details to be announced.

This is a free event but booking is required.

In partnership with TikTok.
