Stories, poetry, histories and memories are all shared in our fortnightly podcast created by Lewisham libraries staff. We started collecting material at the beginning of Covid-19 lockdown in April 2020 and shared them with customers and residents through Facebook as the weekly series “Lewisham Voices”. We are now publishing them more widely through this podcast. There are memories from residents of growing up in Lewisham during the 1950s, and local author Caleb Azumah Nelson reflects on a more recent childhood. Poets recite their poetry, and authors read whole stories or share special chapters from their novels. Historians remember famous residents such as Olaudah Equiano and Robert Browning, and a theatre company reveals how they involve the community in their productions. Each fortnight the podcast will have a different theme or format – but the link is always “words”. Keep in touch.

Library Words - Migration Museum

Friday Jul 23, 2021

The Migration Museum explores how the movement of people to and from Britain across the ages has shaped who we are – as individuals, as communities, and as a nation. They are currently based in the heart of Lewisham Shopping Centre and have recently re-opened.

As part of Refugee Week in June, Juan Rey-Torre from Lewisham Libraries spoke to Volunteer Coordinator and Executive Assistant Mona and Creative Producers Cym and Ghaf about the work of the Migration Museum, as well as sharing their own personal stories and book recommendations with us.
