The Times Literary Supplement (TLS) had its 100-year anniversary in January 2002. This display celebrated the centenary with photographs of past and present reviewers including Henry James, Julian Barnes and Nick Hornby.

TLS is the only weekly literary newspaper in the UK. The first issue appeared on 17 January 1902, consisted of eight pages and came free with a copy of The Times. In March 1914, the Literary Supplement became autonomous. It now covers everything from the arts to zoology and is the most famous and influential English-language critical journal in the world.
