Joining the library: Laurie Penny

Buzzing, creative, brave. Places of sanctuary, freedom, and the unexpected. Libraries don’t just keep our stories safe; they’re where new stories begin. Meet the people around the world making amazing things happen in them. Hosted by Cleo Laskarin from our exhibitions team. 

Books are only the beginning. Libraries are alive, and they’re anything but silent. 

Supported by the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library. 

A Pixiu Production.
