Newham Libraries will be launching the first ever Festival of Stories in November, an innovative 12-day celebration of different narratives within the Borough’s diverse community. The festival takes place from 11 November to 22 November and promises to give people who attend access to a variety of captivating stories. This initiative was made possible by a £61,000 grant from Arts Council England and over £25,000 inkind contributions from a range of other partners.
