The British Council's library, due for closure in November, will be moving its materials to the English and American Studies library at Sofia University.

Sofia University, in turn, will welcome external customers to the library for the first time.

Acording to the British Council's website, "all current British Council library memberships will be transferred automatically. We will notify members as soon as this has been done. Members who do not wish to have their membership transferred can claim a partial refund of their last membership fee".

When the membership period expires all members will be invited to renew with the English & American Studies library.

"Readers will be able to enjoy a large range of materials from our library plus books already on offer at the university," says a statement on the British Council's website.

The English and American Studies library was founded as a British Council resource centre in 1992. In 1997 the Resource Centre expanded to a second level under the main reading room.

The British Council said it was "pleased that the oldest university in Bulgaria has decided to extend access to its library to non-university readers as well".  

The last date for borrowing materials from the British Council library will be October 23. Materials must be returned by October 30.
