This is one of a series of events launching the 100 Bookshelf project, which celebrates 100 years of writing in Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire. The 100 Bookshelf houses a rare collection of books, published 1925-2025, from the City Archives’ Local Studies Collection. Look out for the Bookshelf as it tours local libraries to bring inspiration to the next generation of local authors.
