It will enable the Library to deliver its ambition to nurture and support outstanding research and innovative public engagement with research at the John Rylands Research Institute and Library.

Rylands Next Chapter began in 2021, almost 15 years after completion of the Unlocking the Rylands project. It is intended to prepare the Rylands for the challenges and opportunities of the mid-21st century.

You can find out all about the project - the key stages, the aims, what's changing and who's involved on the new John Rylands Next Chapter intranet pages.
