Black dancers have been present in British ballet from at least the 1940s onwards but the presence and contribution of these pioneers has been largely forgotten. Into the Light: The Pioneers of Black British Ballet exhibition at Gloucester Library aims to change this by celebrating the lives of these trailblazers. 

Drop in to view this free exhibition during the library's open hours. Available for the month of January.

Bravo Group runs on Wednesdays, 2 - 3pm, during school term times.

Join our friendly Lab Tech and a community of young learners in exploring how the technology around us works, and what we can do with it. We provide an opportunity to get hands-on with practical electronics, digital art, 3D modelling and printing, computer programming, games design, video and audio recording and editing, and more. In anything from recording a podcast to building a robot, this is a creative space where we explore ideas from the ground up, and find practical and inventive solutions to problems. If you're a complete beginner, we'll help you get started. And if you already have some experience, then we'll give you the tools to progress further. We're excited to see what you create!

Suitable for people aged 7 - 14. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Booking is essential.

Gloucestershire Libraries are committed to creating an inclusive community and are working towards a place where everyone feels welcome, safe and valued for who they are. Our events are for everyone: We welcome you whatever your socio-economic background, ability, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, age, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. If you have any access requirements or if you need further information about the event, please contact libraries.development@gloucestershire.gov.uk ahead of the session.

A social activity for people who would otherwise struggle to access library services themselves.  Staff and volunteers will be on hand to help people to choose reading/listening materials or use a library computer.
