New Website Support

Welcome to the new Better Libraries website.
We hope that you will enjoy exploring the new Better Libraries experience, and accessing all of your library services in one place.
 
Currently our website is in Beta Testing mode, this is a phase where real users access a website to help identify bugs or errors that only occur with active use. This does mean that you may encounter these issues while using our new service.
Should you discover something that doesn’t quite look right, please get in touch with our Website Support team for assistance at website.support@gll.org
Where possible, please take a screenshot to help illustrate the issue, and supply which page the error occurs on, the easiest way to supply this information is by copying and pasting the address in your browser's address bar at the top of your screen, which starts http://www.better.org.uk/library.
Thank you for your patience while we transition to this new service.

If you are having issues signing up during this transition period, please contact central.library@gll.org or call 020 3931 0900 for more information about library membership.
