The exhibition continues.
Originally unveiled on World Book Night at Burnley Central Library, this evolving exhibition celebrates our shared love of reading in Burnley, bringing together community-created artwork and original writing by local voices.
At its heart are commissioned artworks by Natasha Emily Lynch and Myro Doodles, created through workshops with people across Burnley. Alongside these, a growing collection of creative writing inspired by favourite books offers a personal and collective reflection on the stories that stay with us.
Visitors are invited to take their time, explore the work, and reflect on the role stories play in shaping our lives, from childhood favourites to the books we return to again and again.
This is a living exhibition, with new writing being added.
