BOOK CHAT ONLINE
Liverpool City Library's Book Chat is now available online! Be part of our Library community, read and discuss a different title each month. Join us on the first Friday evening of each month to discuss a popular title.
Our monthly schedule of books includes a mix of contemporary fiction, classics, biography and non-fiction.
MUNCH, MEND AND MAKE ONLINE
Join us fortnightly for a Friday afternoon of crafting and creating! Munch, Mend & Make Online is a free online social craft group for anyone interested in expanding their creativity.
Be guided through an easy craft activity using materials you might have around the house. Sessions will be run via Facebook on Fridays, 1-1.30pm on a fortnightly basis.
Living Library aims to help the community understand the lived experience of mental illness, tackle stigma and normalise getting help.
At Living Library events instead of borrowing a book, a story is borrowed through a speaker. Speakers talk to and take questions from an audience about their connection to mental health and wellbeing. This could be the lived experience of mental illness, being a carer for family members with mental illness or professional expertise in the mental health sector.
