Overview[]

The British Library Special Operations Division (Japanese: 大英図書館特殊工作部, daiei-toshokan tokushu-kousakubu) is the special operations forces of the British Library. Housed in a giant covert underground complex beneath the Great Court of the British Museum, the Special Operations Division employs a number of agents with special powers and runs operations all over the world to fight book-related crime and terrorism, and to acquire rare works for the Library.

The seal of the British Library Special Operations Division refers to the organisation as L.L.L.U (Last Literature Defence Line of the United Kingdom).

The organisation's slogan is "Peace to the Books of the World, an Iron Hammer to Those Who Would Abuse Them, and Glory and Wisdom to the British Empire!"

History[]

After the destruction of the I-Jin, the library is severely damaged by Yomiko Readman when she learns of Joseph Carpenter's plans for resurrecting the British Empire. The resulting destruction nearly destroys Great Britain's political power and paralyzes the economy. Eventually, Joseph Carpenter makes an agreement with Dokusensha. In exchange for giving Dokusensha the Gentleman Books, Dokusensha will give Britain aid for its recovery.
