100 Years of Essex Libraries Exhibition
2 Nov 2026 – 30 Nov 2026
Chelmsford Library
Event Description
Come celebrate 100 Years of Essex Libraries with us throughout the month of November!
We'll be holding a fantastic exhibition showcasing all things Essex Libraries, but of course Chelmsford Library in particular, as well! Come and look at our brilliant collection of archives and see how the library layout evolved through time and find out about events past and present.
We'll also be holding a stock exhibition of local history collections that have not been available on the public shelves for some time due to age and condition, including some fantastic Librarian Newsletters from years gone by.
Free drop-in event, no need to book.
