Business Partnerships

Share in the library’s success and support future activities whilst offering clients, employees and other stakeholders privileged access to amazing collections and resources in an architecturally stunning venue. With an estimated 2 million visitors in the first year and prominent national media attention, position your business as a champion of children’s development, a benefactor of education and the arts and a supporter of new businesses. Partnerships can be tailor-made to suit your organisation’s objectives through mutually beneficial and attractive sponsorship deals. We can create bespoke commercial benefits and explore interesting ways for your business to engage with the library.
