Watch our short films featuring four accomplished Manchester creative practitioners who have worked closely with libraries over the course of their careers.

Hear how libraries can support artists, writers, dancers, musicians and more to create original work, access valuable resources, gain practical support and inspire creativity.

These films aim to highlight the rich creative diversity of our libraries, and pave the way for emerging artists to head to their local library for ideas and insight for their next big project.
