September 8th and 9th (Saturday and Sunday) The Portico will be having special 'open days' as part of Manchester's Heritage Open Days 2012. Members of the public are welcome to come in and have a (free) tour of the Library. Staff and volunteers from the membership will be on hand and refreshments will be available. This will be taking place during Stephen Fallow's photography exhibition Sidetracked: A Visual Journey from Carlyle to Manchester in the Gallery.
Following our Heritage Open Days, we will be trialling Saturday openings at the Portico - 10am to 2pm. The first Saturday we open will be the 15th September and this will run every Saturday until Christmas closing! Tea, coffee and cakes will be available on the Saturdays and the Gallery and Reading Room open as normal. We are very excited for it and wondering why we haven't done this all along?!
