Would I recommend the British Library as a tourist attraction? Not necessarily. I was a Library Science post-graduate major in London, so it had natural appeal to me. I liked it as a place to study and do research. However, I did eat in the restaurant there once and had a wonderful experience. If I remember right, it's not far from Kings Cross Station. So if you're in the area and have time to kill, it's not a bad place to check out.
