Voices from the Reading Room

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Alan Dein tracks down the painters, poets and penniless scholars who inhabit a place once dubbed "the university of the ghetto" Whitechapel Library in east London. For over 100 years it has been the first stop for successive waves of immigrants to Britain in their quest for books, knowledge and news of the world around them. Producer Matthew Dodd
