'Flying the Flag for Green Libraries' is a project to raise awareness of climate change and our natural world. Led by Greater Manchester Green Libraries consortium, in collaboration with Cabasa Carnival Arts, the project saw the creation of bespoke naturally-dyed silk flags for all 10 library services at workshops with our local communities during Green Libraries Week (27 Oct – 2 Nov) and the summer holidays in 2025. Each of the 10 flags focuses on a different environmental theme, helping us to consider the impact of climate change and why nature is important to us and our planet. The flags continue to spread their environmental message as part of a touring exhibition throughout 2026 and will feature at the Manchester Day parade in July.
The flags will be on display at Ashton Library, Tameside One, between 26th May - 20th June.
