Join us as we celebrate its 125th birthday. As part of the Festival of Libraries we’ll be taking a trip down memory lane to look at the beginnings of the Library through fascinating collections.

Take a look around the brand new Collections Gallery to see over 40 remarkable objects, many on public display for the first time. Explore our latest special exhibition The Secret Public: LGBTQ Pop 1955-1985.

Our Research Centre will be open to discover more about how we welcome readers to the Library today. Join tours and printing demonstrations across the day with souvenirs to take home of our special anniversary.

Free and drop in. You can find out more about the Festival of Libraries here https://www.manchestercityofliterature.com/event/festival-of-libraries-2025/
