Explore the story of the Portico Library in this thoughtful exhibition about its past, present and future.

Discover memories from the people who have spent time in the building over the last 220 years, including readers, members and staff. Through objects and stories from the library’s history, the exhibition invites you to see the Portico in a new way.

You can also take part by writing your own memory of the library for a special time capsule to be opened in 2076.
