I wonder if this was influenced by the model of New York Public Library –after all Boris was born in New York

From the bookseller ‘

‘Boris Johnson is set to announce plans tonight (Thursday 13th January) to set up a trust to run libraries in London that are at risk of closure, the London Evening Standard website reports. The trust would be run by Team London, which Johnson is establishing this summer to bring together all his mentoring and volunteering projects. Private donors have already contributed £2m for the trust, with banks and individuals set to be asked to top up funds’.
