This month is all about Art Books! There are so many fascinating books about arts practice, creativity, and the habits, inspirations and lives of artists. Come along to this informal bookchat to talk about your favourite Art Book or learn about some new ones to help spark your creativity!

The library will have a selection of Art Books to peruse and borrow on the day for library members (not a member? not a problem, join up on the day for free!).

As always, hot drinks and snacks are on us, so just bring yourself and your book!
