Housing an extensive array of literary works, historical documents, and scholarly resources, this library serves as a vital hub for researchers, enthusiasts, and scholars of this universal language.

Located at the Esperanto Association of Britain.

It is named after Montagu C. Butler, author of a number of works including Step by Step in Esperanto and the comprehensive Esperanto-English Dictionary.
