About this event
During our Rylands Discovery Tours our staff will travel with you through the library spaces and share the fascinating history of the founding of the library, the breadth of the rare collections held here, and our modern use and purpose. The John Rylands Research Institute and Library is a world-famous building and collection, with a rich backstory, many intriguing details, and no small amount of mystery. Meet at the Welcome Desk on the ground floor. No booking required. There is lift access to the spaces visited in the tour and folding seats at the entrance to each floor. Access information can be found on AccessAble https://www.accessable.co.uk/the-university-of-manchester/access-guides/john-rylands-research-institute-and-library Please note, this event is not suitable for organised groups.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in Manchester this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other Manchester rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in Manchester. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
