Exhibitions with the Living Knowledge Network

What is the Living Knowledge Network? 

The Living Knowledge Network is a collaboration between the British Library, 22 public libraries, and the national libraries of Scotland and Wales. We focus on making a positive impact on the public, exchanging knowledge, and enhancing cultural and learning experiences. Our network offers various activities like exhibitions, events, screenings, leadership development, and strategic touring. A key goal is to share knowledge, strengthen our collective abilities, and provide excellent library services to diverse communities.
