In 2025, we’re continuing to expand, update, and improve Britannica Library, starting with the launch of a new Adults Level design this month.
On the back of positive feedback to updates to Britannica Library’s Kids and Teens levels, the Adults level is also getting a revamp! The new design is focused on creating a more engaging, user-centric learning experience, while delivering the same trusted, high-quality content Britannica is known for.
These new updates will start rolling out to Britannica Library in February 2025.
Revamped Homepage
The Adult level homepage has been given a fresh new look that is more visually engaging, with enhanced search and navigation features.
Redesigned Article Page
Article pages have undergone a complete redesign to support more immersive reading and exploration on all devices, featuring prominent visuals, a browsable media gallery and all new interactive content.
Information is more easily digestible with collapsible headings that break down longer articles into shorter blocks of text. The introduction of bulleted lists and informational text boxes within articles also help to summarise content for easier reading.
New OpenDyslexic Font Tool
For improved accessibility, an OpenDyslexic font option will be added to all article pages, which users can turn on or off with a single click.
Enhanced Navigator Tool
Based on feedback from library users like yourself, the new navigator design will consolidate all tools and features into a single panel. This streamlined design will launch at the Adults level and will soon after be updated across the Kids and Teens levels.
The navigator is fun new way for users to interact with the page and find all the tools they need in one place. The navigator will always stay in view, even as users scroll up or down the page.
Experience the all new Adults level on Britannica Library.
