Somerset Libraries’ documentary film about our Engaging Libraries project, including footage of the launch of the public exhibition.
Created in partnership with Somerset Film, this film tells the story of our disabilities project, ‘The Library Takeover: Creating a Space for All’ . The project, which was funded by the Carnegie UK Trust and Wellcome Trust as part of their ‘Engaging Libraries’ funding stream, aimed to engage our local community in talking about how we can make our public spaces more inclusive for people with learning disabilities. The project was delivered in partnership with local arts organisation, Creativity Works , and worked with a group of 15 adults with learning disabilities who volunteered in the library, took part in creative workshops, created an art exhibition and helped create this film. It took place in Street and Bridgwater libraries during the spring and summer of 2018.
We would love to know how the people of Somerset think our spaces could be more inclusive, so please do leave a comment with your own thoughts.
