We visited @NTCroome last week for a meeting with Rich (NT Cultural Heritage Curator) about interpreting their library space, Robert Adam bookcases and potential future interpretation and engagement opportunities #libraries #historichouse

A wonderful afternoon with some fantastic people & books at @ErddigNT - discussing the research & heritage potentials of country house libraries, and exploring some wonderful Welsh books. Part of the @_readingtheroom project with Oxford Uni & @ResearchNT. Thanks for the invite!

On Wednesday we held a workshop @ErddigNT with NT colleagues, archivists & researchers. A great afternoon discussing the potential of historic house libraries, how we can respond to the diverse needs of different audiences & looking at the book collections #libraries #rarebooks
