Library Late

An evening of live music, creative workshops and a tour of Exeter Library’s hidden corners.

Leigh Curtis

Exeter Library is hosting the latest in its series of Library Lates events on Friday 31 March. The evening includes live music from Luna Gray and Nierra Creek, creative workshops and a tour of the library’s hidden corners.

Double Elephant Print Workshop is running an ink-free session using found materials and paper to create prints using a blind embossing technique.

Marcus Brown from FabLab will demonstrate the basics of 3D printing and sculptor James Lake will help workshop participants to make a giraffe from cardboard, tape and tissue paper.

Librarians will double as silent disco DJs playing 80s hits, dance music, indie tunes and Euro pop.

There will also be tours of parts of the library that are usually inaccessible to the public including the stacks where special collections are held.
