On Friday 19 March writers, poets, and musicians come together in the Great Hall to say goodbye (for now!) to Central Library.
Comma Press and Carcanet Publishing are our partners and will be helping us to put together a great programme for the evening - your host will be Mike Garry and already confirmed to appear are the award-winning poet Sean O'Brien (who used a haunting picture taken in stack for the cover of his recent book) plus the wonderful novelists Jane Rogers & Nicholas Royle - and providing music, the amazing Delibabies (you can listen to them on MySpace). More names will be added to the line-up - check our website or Facebook page for updates.
We would love you to come along & enjoy the event and we also need people to get involved and to contribute memories, stories and photographs of Central Library. If you have any stories about Central Library you'd like to share you can email them to Dave in Archives.
During March you can also come and photograph Central Library, then send your snaps to centrallibraryphotos@manchester.gov.uk. If you are a member of Flickr you can submit your photos online to the Get Wisdom gallery. We've got 41 pictures submitted so far...have a look!
Photos and personal stories will feature in the Get Wisdom exhibition which runs throughout March on the first floor of Central Library along with an online version.
Refreshments served, everyone welcome! If you’d like to read yourself, drop Libby Tempest a line.
