News from the Library

Our Library display in March and April is dedicated to two key William Shakespeare events: 18 to 24 March (Shakespeare Week) and 23 April the Bard’s birthday – it highlights the annual celebration of the iconic playwright, whose works continue to captivate audiences and shape language over four centuries later.

His legacy extends beyond literature - everyday, we use countless phrases and words coined by Shakespeare in his plays, such as 'break the ice', 'spotless reputation’, ‘good riddance’, ‘not slept a wink’ and many more.
