The Book That Shaped Me
A creative workshop exploring your personal connections with books.
As part of the National Library’s centenary celebrations in 2025, we’re inviting you to bring along a book, graphic novel or magazine that means something special to you. It can be fiction or non-fiction. There will be fun and creative exercises to get you writing and talking about the book and the connections and memories it has for you.
We’re also interested in your experiences and memories of libraries as places for discovery, learning, inspiration, community and activism! Your ideas, memories and contributions during the session will help to shape the National Library’s Centenary exhibition in 2025, celebrating libraries and reading, and may even feature in the display (with your permission).
The session will be led by writer Beth Cochrane.
