This workshop is led by poet Jennifer Williams. We will explore the history of the National Library of Scotland, and personal memories of libraries through writing prompts and creative responses.
Bring your memories of libraries you have loved, and any objects, books or photographs that go along with them.
The workshop will begin and end with a series of embodied movements and relaxation to help us connect to ourselves, one another, our memories and the space. We will also have an optional short behind the scenes tour of the library to inspire our writing as part of the session.
This session is the first in a three-part series creatively responding to memories of libraries in our past, libraries of the present and the future. Participants can choose to attend one, two, or all three of the sessions in the series. Future sessions will be advertised later in the year.

Calton Hill

&quot;Bagpipes sound from afar, I only care about your news.
The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you.&quot;
This is the location of Jay Chou&#39;s MV &quot;Obviously&quot;,
and it is also the birthplace of J.K. Rowling&#39;s creation of &quot;Harry Potter&quot;.
If you dream of a medieval city in a magical world,
then you must come here in this life.
Every building is a natural movie background,
and every corner seems to hide a secret passage to another world.
In the end, when the sunset on Calton Hill confiscated time,
Edinburgh, becoming amber that never fades, will always remain in my memory.
