Meet
The Guild of
Library Writers
Belfast Central Library has had a
creative writing group for many years.
However, with the pandemic in 2020,
the group disbanded. In 2023 the
writing group was born anew as The
Guild of Library Writers, a new name
and new members as well as old.
The group meet weekly on
Wednesdays at 2:00pm and contribute
to exhibits and events throughout
the year. This year the group have
been awarded a position in CAPs
(Community Arts Partnership) Poetry
In Motion project which seeks to
reach new and emerging poets across
the region. This will allow them the
chance to submit a piece of work to be
included in the anthology and to be put
forward for the Seamus Heaney Award
for New Writing.
