Story Café Special – Banned Books Week

Launched in 1982 in a response to a sudden surge in the number of challenges to books in schools, bookstores and libraries, Banned Books Week (27th September to 3rd October) is a celebration of the glorious freedom to read. We’d love you to celebrate taking liberties with your reading with us at our Story Café Special. Join us as we explore banned and challenged women writers from across the world, including Alice Walker, Nadime Gordimer and Toni Morrison.

Story Café

Our warm and welcoming Story Café is the perfect way to relax over lunchtime. Bring along a bite to eat, grab a cuppa, and enjoy listening to wonderful short stories, novel extracts and poems by women writers from around the world.

Whether you’re an avid reader, or want to get into reading for the first time, this group is a great way to discover the wealth of writing on our shelves, meet new people and simply take some time out to recharge your batteries.

Thursdays 12.30pm to 2.30pm, 3rd to 17th Sept, 1st  Oct & 8th Oct, 22nd Oct to 5th Nov, 19th Nov to 17th Dec
