Crosby Library

Libraries have changed. It’s time for community spaces to reflect our human need for connection. At The Library is a programme of artist-led workshops, projects, commissions and happenings in Sefton Libraries.

We aim to make a new civic and cultural role for Sefton’s libraries, offering new experiences, new meeting points, new reasons to gather and ways to spend time together.  Most of our activities happen in Bootle, Netherton and Crosby Libraries.

Everyone is welcome, and everything is free. 

We have worked with artists including Ciara Phillips, Harun Morrison, Jenny Steele, Jayne Lawless, Sumuyya Khader, Sean Roy Parker, Fairland Collective, Frances Disley and Bella Milroy, alongside local historians, gardeners, community organisations and educators. You can read more about some of these projects here.

At The Library is curated and produced by Rule of Threes Arts in partnership with Sefton Libraries with funding from Arts Council England and the National Lottery Community Fund.
