Library Special

Guy Garvey takes the Finest Hour on a tour of Manchester's libraries as part of 6 Music Celebrates Libraries.

As part of 6 Music Celebrates Libraries, Guy Garvey takes the Finest Hour on a tour of Manchester's libraries, from the beautiful neo-gothic treasure trove that is John Rylands Library to the newly refurbished Manchester Central Library to the hidden gem that is the Portico Library.

He'll be discovering some of the city's most precious artefacts including one of the world's oldest biblical texts, an ancient Greek medical document, Shakespeare's Second Folio dating back to 1632, and archive films about Manchester's music scene.

This programme is part of 6 Music Celebrates Libraries which features a selection of shows across the network turning their attention to libraries - from the sound archive of the British library to exploring the influence of literature on music. Next Friday Steve Lamacq will be broadcasting live from the British Library in London.
