House of Lords Library, Parliamentary library in Westminster, London, United Kingdom.
The House of Lords Library contains legal texts, parliamentary documents, and research materials within the Palace of Westminster's historic chambers.
The library began operations in 1826 with John Frederic Leary as first librarian, focusing on English law books for parliamentary reference.
Members of the House of Lords access specialized collections of political literature, legislative documents, and governmental publications to support their parliamentary duties.
The library opens Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 7 PM, offering research services, digital resources, and document delivery to parliamentary users.
Lady Truro's donation of her husband's law book collection in 1856 formed the foundation of the library's extensive legal repository.
