During May half term, we invite you to Look For A Book in an exciting game of finders keepers to celebrate the Festival of Libraries.

Hidden around the museum galleries will be copies of the book ‘Put Your Records On’ written by singer-songwriter Corinne Bailey Rae, illustrated by Gillian Eilidh O’Mara.
Inspired by Corinne’s hit song, the story follows a young girl named Bea discovering emotions through music by exploring her great aunt’s vinyl collection.
Enjoy more beats and books at our juke box, and drop in to the new Storytelling Zone.
Family Friendly activity, suitable for ages 5-12 (under 18s must have an accompanying adult).
Part of Manchester City of Literature’s Festival of Libraries (10-14 June 2026), a programme of celebratory activities taking place across Greater Manchester’s entire library network.

Imagine, play, read, and relax in a Family Friendly space celebrating the power of storytelling.
