The importance of libraries

A provocation by Ali Smith

In this podcast Ali Smith explores the changing role of libraries in the 21st Century, and how reading and writing are at the heart of communities.

This was first delivered as part of our National Conversation at Cambridge Festival of Ideas in 2016, in celebration of Cambridge University Library's 600th Birthday.
