A Festive In Focus

By Emma Laws, Cathedral Librarian

This week, we enjoyed welcoming visitors to the Library and Archives Reading Room for our final In Focus of the year. We are very grateful to everyone who has supported our pop-up events this year.

In Focus displays are free drop-in events and are perfect opportunities to explore different themes in the collections – there’s usually something for everyone. Topics this year have included bookplates, scrapbooks, food and drink, dragons, skeletons, the sea, trees, women and, at our final event this week, the things you find tucked inside books. Our In Focus drop-ins are also a great way to get to know the wider Cathedral community in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.

If you haven’t yet found your way to the door of the Library and Archives, there are many more In Focus events planned for next year. Keep an eye out for further details – we look forward to welcoming you!
