Once Upon a Time…
There was an amazing exhibition filled with beautiful art by five incredible illustrators: Gillian Flint, Gillian Hibbs, Holly Sterling, Jarvis, and Sharon Davey. Each of them creates magical worlds to spark imaginations and celebrate the joy of storytelling.
Once Upon a Time is a family-focused, fun-filled space where everyone can enjoy brilliant books and special stories. With cosy corners for reading, colourful artwork to explore, and hands-on activities to dive into, it’s a place where creativity comes to life.
When you’ve finished exploring the exhibition, head over to Oldham Library to borrow some of the books featured in the show.
Please check the library opening times before planning your visit.
