A Journey Through Stories: 120 Years of Bingham Library & the History of Children’s Books

Join us for a fascinating double bill, brought to you as part of this year's Cirencester History Festival. Milly Wreford opens with a brief look at the 120-year history of the Bingham Library. Then Dr Valija Evalds takes us on a lively journey through the history of children’s literature—from medieval manuscripts and early classics to today’s vibrant world of kids’ books. This is a family talk for adults and older children.

Suitable for ages 11+
