About this Event

We are excited to offer two events with lesbian researcher and author Elizabeth Lovatt, to celebrate Southwark Libraries' Festival of Words and the Southwark LGBTQ+ Staff Network's Pride programme. Tickets can be booked for either event, or both.

14:00-16:00 - 'Lesbian in the Archive Workshop'

Come explore lesbian and queer history in the Southwark Archives! Elizabeth Lovatt will be on hand to share her own experiences doing queer research and lead creative responses. Held in conjunction with Southwark Archives, at the back of John Harvard Library.

17:30-18:30 - Author talk: Elizabeth Lovatt

Elizabeth will be discussing her book, Thank you for calling the lesbian line, including the research that informed it. There will be an opportunity for book signings and a Q&A.

This event is open to all, regardless of library membership.

John Harvard Library is a free public library located in the heart of London, moments from Borough and London Bridge stations. We are also well located for the C14 cycle route, with a hoop cycle rack directly in front of the library. There is a public parking lot a 5 minute walk away, run by 'Your Parking Space' on Union Street. More information here: John Harvard Library | Southwark Council
