Level 4 of the #Backrooms or South Wing 4 at the UL? 🌀🤔
🎬 ‘Backrooms’ is a sort of mystery sub-genre of the internet where people talk about endless, empty corridors. It’s now the subject of a new horror film. Still confused? We are too, but our stacks do seem to fit the bill.
We’re mixing things up on Thursday 18 June for a special Library Late experience!
Experience the UL after hours with a pop-up bar and DJ Bosslady on the decks. Plus workshops, board games, talks, films and live poetry performances.
⏰7.30PM TO 10PM
🎟️£8. Adults only.
