Join Poet Laureate Simon Armitage at Eccles Library for this special event.

Come and celebrate libraries with Simon Armitage, who will be reading poems and answering questions from the audience.

“My experience of reading and writing began in the village library where I grew up, then in the nearby town library, then in libraries at various places of study and teaching. For many people they are an invaluable aspect of everyday life, giving access not just to books but to services, learning, conversation and creative thinking. I look forward to celebrating libraries as one of the great and necessary institutions as part of Manchester’s very own city-wide Festival of Libraries in the UNESCO City of Literature.” Simon Armitage
