About this Event
This workshop invites you to bring along a book that means something special to you and take part in a creative writing workshop. Not only will you share why you love your chosen book, but there will also be fun, creative exercises to get you writing about the book and what it means to you.
We’ve got millions of books and publications in our collections - from comics to cookbooks, as well as unique manuscripts and first editions. What are the books you return to again and again? Which one has had an impact on your life or work? Whether it’s a cherished children’s book or annual, a novel you couldn’t put down, or a how-to book that’s always to hand, a copy of that book will likely sit somewhere on the Library’s shelves.
The workshop will generate short pieces of writing which will help to shape an exhibition for our Centenary in 2025, celebrating books and libraries, and may even feature in the display.
This session will be led by writer Beth Cochrane. Suitable for everyone aged 16+. No experience of creative writing is necessary.
If you can't make the workshop, we'd still love to hear from you! Share your special books with us online.
