December 21, 2005: "British Library to Ban Ink Pens"
"The British Library is to extend a ban on pens to all its reading rooms to protect its precious collections."
"From January, the home of the Magna Carta and Lindisfarne Gospels will only allow pencils."
"Pens have already been banned from the library's Rare Books and Music, Manuscripts, Maps, Oriental and India Office and Philatelic reading rooms."
