Lewis Carroll travelling display
The display will be at Redhill Library in May.
ßÙßÇÂþ» History Centre’s Lewis Carroll collection has been growing for over 75 years. In 2025, marking 160 years since the first publication of ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’, the Centre celebrated the archives of Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832–1898)—better known by his enchanting pen name, Lewis Carroll—with a free foyer display and a cabinet exhibition in their search room.
We are thrilled to announce that the fascinating display will now be touring six ßÙßÇÂþ» libraries, giving you the chance to discover more
For other libraries on the tour, please see the section Lewis Carroll travelling display on our Events and activities in libraries webpage.
