Manchester Libraries welcomed the Black British Book Festival on tour in 2023 with a packed programme of authors, including Kehinde Andrews, Ella Philips, Derek Owusu and Jacqueline Roy. We also supported over 30 indie publishers, booksellers and authors in our pop up roadshow.

We had a brilliant time!
