The Portico Library
Dive deep into Manchester’s Georgian and Victorian era through a selection of historic books, peculiar stories and how Mancunians built the Portico Library as a literature hub in 1806.
Guests will get the chance to handle a selection of archival items and historic books, including the original Portico Library catalogue. Lasting roughly one hour with curator Apapat Jai-in Glynn, you walk around the Library to see the exhibition and then sit down to handle historic items.
Manchester City of Literature is committed to inclusion and accessibility for everyone.
