The Gibson Library is an independent library founded in 1832 as the Saffron Walden Literary and Scientific Institution. The library now houses 25,000+ volumes, and shares a building with Saffron Walden Library.
The exhibition teaches visitors about the history and process of printing as well as some of the most important figures involved.

The exhibitions are on display in Saffron Walden Library on the ground and first floors.

July is the month of Beatrix Potter's birth, so to celebrate, we named this biography as our book of the month. It will be on display and available to borrow from the Gibson Library by members of Essex Libraries.

Here at the Gibson Library, we have a wide selection of books published by or about Shelley, including a pamphlet (pictured below) that he wrote about vegetarianism in 1947 with an introduction by local author Hugh I'Anson Fausset.
