Ongoing projects include:

​

Stories of our Lives

The People's Library is working with primary and secondary schools, delivering creative writing coaching and helping young people create their own fiction and non-fiction, which we will publish in book form. We're also working with groups of older people who are living with dementia, encouraging them to share their stories and experience with a wide audience, and these life stories will also be published in book form in 2025 and 2026. We welcome new partners with stories to share. 

​

Green Light ​

We're running a series of environmental projects that are raising awareness of green issues and making positive change. Join our Project Green Light campaign.

 ​

Swansea Visions Art and Photography Exhibitions ​

As partners of Race Council Cymru and the Swansea Grand Theatre, we're delighted to showcase creative talent in art and photography exhibitions.

​​

The Poetry of Inclusion

Many of the most engaging new voices in British poetry belong to recent arrivals, and can help us see our country and hear our language in different ways.

We celebrate that freshness in the poetry of gifted artists such as Aruni McShane and were proud to publish her first collection,"Purity and Hope".     ​

​​

Still You

We're working in partnership with Social Services to create art projects for older people suffering from dementia. By recreating images and memories from different stages of their lives, we're reminding them of the rich lives they've led.

The People's Library's mesage is simple - you're still you.     ​

​​

Swansea Voices

Sometimes our friends want us to tell their stories for them. 

Sometimes they just need an opportunity to stand up and speak for themselves. Why not come to a Swansea Voices event and hear from the people who are setting the tone for this city and this country in the 2020s? 

Better still, why not be one of them? Either way, we'd like to meet you.

 ​

Taking the Next Steps

Thank you for embracing the People's Library in South Wales. We're now reaching out to communities around the UK, telling their stories and celebrating their lives.

Watch this space.
