Libraries are places where books move and people meet, past and present, real and imagined. That’s how great stories begin. Inspired by The Forgotten Library exhibition, this event invites you to take part in a simple act of exchange. Bring along a book you’ve enjoyed, leave it at the John Rylands Library, and choose a book that someone else has decided to give.

How do I take part?
