  Open Doors - Gladstone Library

  12pm, 2pm, & 4pm.Gladstone Library, Hawarden

  Visit us on Saturday, 16th September as we open the doors of the library to everyone as part of Open Doors 2017. Join one of three FREE hour-long, curator-led tours where you’ll learn about our unique and distinctive collections and the man who founded them, W.E. Gladstone.
  You will also go behind the scenes into Closed Access, our secure store - get up close with almost 6,000 items printed before 1800, some dating from the early 16th Century. There will also be a display of beautiful and fascinating items from our diverse collection. 60-minute Curator-led tours of the Library take place at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.
  After your visit, why not stay for tea, coffee and cake in our bistro, Food for Thought (open 10am - 5pm). We serve a full lunch menu between 12pm and 2pm, and light bites between 2pm and 5pm.
  Come along and see the library and its collections as they are rarely seen by the public. We hope to see you there!
