Summer

Libraries, the keepers of stories, knowledge and secrets. Full of books that you can read for free!

But libraries are way more than books alone. From author talks and poetry slams to city-wide literature festivals. From embroidery workshops and art groups to Minecraft, Lego and Code Clubs. 

Your local library is there help you to start a business, learn how to draw or trace your family history. And your local librarian holds the keys to it all!

Find out what’s on at libraries across the city here.
