Step into the Library Bar for an immersive evening of storytelling that explores the profound significance of libraries in our collective and personal histories — from sanctuaries of discovery to sites of complex cultural memory. 

Special Collections: A night of live storytelling delves into the way libraries intersect with our lives, transforming the Library Bar into a vibrant listening space.

Six exceptional creatives will bring their stories to life through a rich tapestry of sound and spoken word. Experience a curated mix of immersive audio stories, poetry and live storytelling that highlights libraries as dynamic sites, shaping our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
