🎄 What is the Old Library?
Ghosts at the Old Library is published by Levenshulme Old Library with the support of Arts Council England.
In the winter of 2023, we commissioned a series of brand new ghost stories from six writers, each of which took its inspiration from a local landmark in Levenshulme, South Manchester. We staged a number of immersive reading events in our historic former library building and produced audio recordings for broadcast on ALLFM over the Christmas period.
Ghost stories at Christmas have long been an oral storytelling tradition, from tales told around the winter fire through to Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. This moved into the TV era with A Ghost Story for Christmas, a series of late night television films broadcast on the BBC which continue to this day.
